Game
If your child is just getting to know chess, start here. Choose a piece and the board will show every square it can move to.
Two short games: in the first, White delivers “Scholar’s mate” in four moves; in the second, Black spots the threat in time. Step through the moves and read the coach’s comments.

My son has been having lessons for six months and in that time he’s earned his 3rd rating category. The coach explains difficult things simply and without pressure about results.
My daughter asks to start her lesson herself — for me, that’s the best sign. She never used to look forward to even cartoons like that.
We came to build concentration before school started — and got a first tournament too. Our child has become calmer about losing.
