At ChessMAX, we encourage our young players to develop their skills both at the club and at home. One of the best ways to do this is through ChessKid.com
What is ChessKid?
ChessKid is a child-friendly online environment that makes learning chess fun, interactive, and safe. It offers video lessons, puzzles, practice games, and tutorials tailored to different ages and skill levels. The platform is widely used by schools and clubs around the world, providing a structured and motivating way for juniors to learn and improve.
Why We Recommend ChessKid
ChessMAX promotes the use of ChessKid because it is:
Safe and secure – created with safeguarding and child protection in mind.
Educational – covering all aspects of the game, from the basics to advanced strategies.
Engaging – children earn stars, points, and rewards that motivate consistent practice.
Progressive – lessons adapt as a child’s understanding and ability improve.
How We Use ChessKid at ChessMAX
Our club holds a ChessKid group account that allows our junior members to access lessons and practice activities under coach supervision. We actively encourage regular use of the platform, and our coaches can view students’ progress to support their individual development.
We also recognise effort and achievement through prizes and certificates, helping to keep children motivated as they learn.
How Parents Can Support
Parents play an important role in helping their child get the most from ChessKid. You can:
Encourage short, regular practice sessions at home.
