Improve your grades by dueling students at your level.

People don’t get good at chess just by taking a class. They get good by playing many, many matches against people around their level.

Tennis, Fortnite, StarCraft, Counter-Strike, and poker work the same way.

Tutoring
without tutors.

YOLO’s job is to find you a good match.

You practice against students around your level, with questions chosen for what you know and how quickly you answer.

We use Elo, a skill rating from chess, to keep matches close as you improve.

Practice over and over. Without paying a tutor by the hour.

What is an
Elo rating?

An Elo rating measures your skill against other players. Similar ratings predict a close match.

Chess websites use Elo to match you with players around your level. As your rating rises, you’re matched with higher-rated opponents.
