Testimonials
ChessKid in schools and clubs in South Dakota:
Our students in Sioux Falls schools like ChessKid even better than bughouse! As soon as the lecture is over they're at the computers playing Fast Chess and solving Puzzles.
As a grandmaster and professional chess coach for more than 20 years, I highly recommend ChessKid's training tools for every chess club and after-school program in the country.

Using our parent company, Chess.com, with high school students in Winston-Salem, North Carolina & around the world!
I coach the largest high school chess team in the state of North Carolina: Atkins HS in Winston-Salem, NC. The large number of students poses a challenge, and so learning and playing on the online, interactive Chess.com website became a key part of our program. Recently, as a part of the Sister Cities International organization, we arranged global chess play with students from other "sister cities" around the world. Chess.com makes all of this possible, as students in North Carolina (US), the Bahamas, and Moldova started this global chess initiative. My players love the live play, the online play, the lessons, and the tactical puzzles. I can't thank Chess.com enough for having such an affordable way to build the skills of chess players of all ages and abilities. You can read about our Global Chess Partnership on the Winston-Salem Sister Cities site.
