I’m a bit confused where I need to go to get chess tempo via KCT. I have a chess tempo free account, the video put out says we need to upgrade it via KCT, but I can’t see a link or how to do that.
Also the link on news ‘learn more>>’ doesn’t do anything for me at the moment.
Thanks
Hi Jonathan, I will fix the link in the news and this post. Here it is: https://killerchesstraining.com/product/chess-tempo-upgraded-membership/
Hi Jonathan, did you get sorted? my free membership updated to Gold after the Killer team manually set me up and I could see that against my user name under members-online users and also under settings and account (where I’m now down as group membership). The hardest part I found was trying to pick Jacob as a coach, not sure if I have done it correctly (under my “username”-settings-coaches and I entered jacob aagaard and a , which seems to be important), as I didn’t see him listed under users(it seems hard to find a particular user) and nothing seems to have changed re any options or lessons etc. Just to note also for everyone that there is an older chess tempo website, which I think is being left up for those using Internet explorer still (instead of Edge or Chrome). there you click on preferences-coaches. The user guide under “help” also seems reasonable and can be downloaded.
The older site can be found at Chess Tactics (chesstempo.com) with the newer site being https://chesstempo.com/
I found some of the tactics exercises to be difficult enough but of a higher quality than for example “chessbase”. The user comments on the positions are a nice touch, as they they normally cover off why your move was wrong or what you missed.
Hi Brendan,
Thanks for this - I didn’t know my account had been upgraded from KCT manually until checking under ‘settings - accounts’, which it has so that’s sorted.
I didn’t know I needed to add Jacob as a coach, but when I go to ‘settings - coach’ it appears to ask me to add people that I coach and not a coach for myself?
No idea where to go on it to find downloadable files?
Thanks
Jonathan
Hi guys, watch Jacob;s yesterday class. In the end, he explains how to do things.
I watched it back, didn’t know the chesstempo guide was on the end of that video! I’m still not quite getting it though…
I can see my account has been upgraded to gold - this is good.
I can’t see the ‘chessbooks’ button top left that’s on Jacobs screen - it says BETA version so I’m wondering if I need to click somewhere to enable this?
I don’t know where I need to set Jacob as my coach - under the ‘settings - coaches’ tab I put in jacob aagaard and click search and nothing comes up (including comma ideas from Brendan)
Not only that but isn’t that where I would put people that I coach and not assigning a coach to me? - Maybe the English is just wrong on this section, and it should actually be ‘coachees’ (students would be a better word) as Jacob has to add us in manually?
I have tried this on mozilla firefox and microsoft edge.
Thanks in advance!
Jonathan
@kallia I don’t see a chessbooks tab either on chesstempo.com, have Jonathan and myself been added as students for Jacob?
Thanks
Brendan
Is “Chess Books”, part of Premium/Diamond membership? which might give you access to a development/beta features? Has anyone who was not a tester (which I take it some members are) managed to get things to work?
Thanks
Brendan
Hi guys, Jacob is playing today and I don’t know who to fix that for you. So, please be patient!
Hi all, just logged in and I can see the ‘chess books (beta)’ part. I can access homeworks and wacky openings on there.
Thanks
Thank you @jonathan.blackburn! The issues have been resolved and hopefully, you will all enjoy this new adventure!
Thanks. I can access to the chess books beta part. The problem with the homework is that is seen the solution. Isn´t possible to hide this ?
Thanks Kallia, I can also access 
Only when you are manually approved by me as students, will you see the button. I only did it once I was home from my trip.
Please watch this video https://youtu.be/pCxnFEyIbiA
Or the end of the Fundamentals class from last Thursday for any questions you might have.
Good Morning/Afternoon,
I assume I have the same issue as @jonathan.blackburn and @brendanlyons
I am not sure if I have been approved as a student yet. And I managed to find
jacob aagard under coaches but I don’t know how to add you.
Also the chessbooks tab doesn’t appear on the top left on my screen.
Please help
Thank you
Hi,
Click on your name top right and go to Settings or Preferences. You should see a coaches tab there. Enter Jacob Aagaard there and wait to be accepted. Hope that helps Cheers Malcolm
WATCH THE VIDEO
And please do not message us within a few hours of doing things. At “free” (which is what our work is in this case), you have to show patience (directed at others, not you).
Thank you for taking the time to help Malcolm.
I have done that. But not sure if it worked. I will wait a few days.
And see what happens.
