Chess Notion is a niche digital brand that creates beautifully structured Notion templates tailored for chess players, enthusiasts, and coaches. From training trackers and opening repertoires to post-game analysis workspaces, Chess Notion merges the timeless game of strategy with the modern flexibility of Notion’s no-code environment. The brand offers a mix of free and premium templates, giving the global chess community powerful, easy-to-use digital tools.

When I joined the project, the challenge was clear: chess players often rely on scattered tools — physical notebooks, clunky spreadsheets, and third-party apps — for studying, tracking games, and analyzing performance. There was no simple, all-in-one digital hub that allowed players and coaches to organize their chess life in a seamless, flexible way.
We needed to position Notion as that solution and design templates that would feel natural for chess minds while unlocking the powerful organizational features of no-code tools.

As a Notion expert and believer in the power of no-code solutions. I saw an opportunity to transform how chess players manage their training and growth. I use Notion a lot for program management, and its a tool I enjoy using a lot. Through talking and building with it, I became an official ambassador, recognized from San Francisco and working directly with the team.

We developed a series of modular, user-friendly templates:
Training Planners
Opening Repertoire Libraries
Post-Game Analysis Logs
Performance Trackers
Chess Video/Book Databases

The templates quickly gained traction within the chess community, offering both free resources for beginners and premium tools for serious players and coaches. Coaches could now track their students’ games and progress in one place, while players had a clear, motivating structure for personal growth.
Beyond Chess Notion, this project also became a proof point for how no-code tools like Notion can solve real, everyday problems in niche communities — something I continue to advocate for in my work.
