How every piece moves and captures, through castling and en passant.
Vision & The Thinking Process
Seeing what's safe, what's attacked, and building the habit of checking before you move.
Tactics School
Forks, pins, skewers and discovered attacks — the patterns that win material.
Playing Real Chess
Full games and boss battles — putting the whole thinking process together.
Chess for the next generation
Kids Academy — ChessKid through Chess.et
Chess.et helps Ethiopian families get their children started with ChessKid — the children's chess platform built by Chess.com — through a locally organized one-year program.
The local program
Local registration, parent communication in Amharic, and arranging the ChessKid membership. Not a second curriculum.
Where kids learn & play
The children's chess platform — lessons, puzzles, games and curriculum, included with the membership.
One year of ChessKid access through the Chess.et Kids program.
No payment when you register — only after enough families join to launch.
