Explore New ChessKid Features! 🎉

Hey friends and family! ChessKid just got some major updates, and they’re live on Android and ChessKid.com, just in time for back to school. 🎒

From a brand new Home page for kids to a totally refreshed way to play Fast Chess, here's a full breakdown of everything that's new.

 

🔎 Game Review, Now on Android and Web!

Ever finish a game and wonder what you could've done better? Game Review breaks down every move with coach feedback, personalized stats, and fun animations. 

What really brings Game Review to life is the coaching itself. As your game gets broken down move by move, your coach jumps in with personality, explanations, and keeps things exciting the whole way through.

Each coach brings their own animations and speech bubbles packed with move insights, turning your game review into something that feels more like play than practice.

Pick from six coaches to guide your Game Review:

Start a Game Review right after any match, or head to your Game History to review any past game. 

Or download the Android app and play on the go!

♟️ Game Analysis, Now Open for Kids

Kids just got a powerful new learning tool of their own! The Game Analysis tool on Web is now open to kids, and it's completely unlimited. 

From the “Set Up Position” button, kids can build any position on the board, load a game from a FEN or PGN, pull one from their archive, or build a library and bring back a saved position. It's a whole new way to explore and learn chess beyond just playing games. ✨
