"Chess for Network" program has the following modes:
- Authorisation of students. Each student receives his/her unique login and password, which is entered at log-on and identifies the student regardless of what computer he’s working at.
- Creation of classes and groups. A teacher has an opportunity of creating classes and groups that include any number of students for group tasks and group lectures.

- Seminar. A teacher shows chess material on a common board, receives students’ questions in a chat and answers them either in a chat, or by entering variants and text remarks in the task on a common board. He/she asks questions, tests students and receives their answers, enables students to enter variants or text remarks in a common board.
- Tasks for students self-working in a class. A teacher has a possibility of generating a lesson for self-working. Each task can include theoretical material and tests. The teacher has a possibility of observing independent operations of each student, giving him instructions, helping in difficult situations (the teacher thus has a possibility to use the help of the built-in engine) and highlighting a piece or a field on the student’s board using markers.
- Hometask for students. A teacher has a possibility of generating a hometask that includes: theoretical material, tests, playing an educational position against the computer game for a group of students. Each student saves the homework on his/her floppy disk; at home he copies it to his/her home computer and fulfills. At the following lesson the student brings a floppy disk with the hometask results formed by the program to class. These results are brought into the school network version and become accessible to the teacher.
- Printing. The teacher has a possibility of printing out teaching materials for students.
