Our New Partner - ChessKid!
We have some exciting news! As part of our educational chess program, we are partnering with an awesome online chess resource: ChessKid.com
ChessKid is the scholastic extension of Chess.com, and is designed to give kids a safe & positive place to learn, practice and play chess. It’s a website & app filled with chess activities: lessons, fun videos, thousands of tactics puzzles, computer workouts - and of course, the ability to play chess games - against a real student or against the computer. Your child can login to ChessKid on a browser, or on an Android or iOS app by downloading ChessKid's free app.

Now that your child has his/her own account, it’s time to get playing!
- Is your child a beginner, or would like· a review? Start with the Lessons to be presented with videos and interactive lessons sequentially.
- Is your child ready to play? Click “Play vs. Kid” at the top of the screen to start a live chess game right away!
- Is your child a star puzzle-solver? The Puzzle section and Puzzle Duel challenge will offer them tactics problems at their level.
Playing chess games on ChessKid means that a student can match up for a game against another real Kid anywhere & anytime! There are several different types of full chess games on ChessKid: 1) Fast Chess, 2) Slow Chess, 3) Computer Chess against our bots - along with the opportunity to join weekly tournaments and site-wide contests.
- Fast Chess is a live game against another real Kid. Kids enter Fast Chess and can issue a challenge in 3 different time controls: 5 mins, 10 mins or 15 mins. If another friend or clubmate is also online at the same time, they can challenge someone they know in real life!
- Slow Chess is a correspondence chess game where each player has several days to make the next move
- Computer Chess is a full game played against one of our bots, which range in skill level from “beginner” to “insane.”
