We made some big updates to how kids can play chess with our Home & Play Page and Fast Chess redesign. These updates make it easier and lots of fun to start a game, play with friends, and keep learning.
We’ve revamped the Puzzles experience from the ground up with sleek new designs for everyone, guest access to up to three puzzles per day, instant puzzle play for logged-in users, and smooth new animations that make solving puzzles more fun than ever.
This update marked a milestone: the ChessKid App now runs on the latest Chess.com Chessboard!

A Better Way to Learn with ChessKid Lessons Redesign!
We’ve given our Lessons a new look to make learning chess easier, more fun, and more engaging. The new design is easier to follow so kids can see where they are and what’s next.
Cool animations and colorful updates make each lesson more exciting. A smoother path through lessons lets kids learn at their own pace, with a clear sense of progress.
Whether you’re a kid exploring chess, a parent supporting your learner, or a teacher guiding a classroom, the ChessKid Lessons are designed to help everyone enjoy the learning journey!

The fully redesigned “My Kids” page allows parents and guardians to easily manage kids' accounts, track their progress, and more! The page has also been migrated to our new platform. Everything you love is still here — just cleaner, faster, and with enhanced parental controls.

ChessKid worked on many redesigns to give you the best experience possible. Whether you’re new to ChessKid or know folks who are, our revamped sign-up process was designed to make registration simple and more enjoyable, especially for kids.
