ChessKid - лучшее место, где дети могут изучать шахматы и играть!

ChessKid научил играть в шахматы больше детей, чем любой другой сайт. Наша цель - сделать шахматы увлекательными, безопасными и доступными каждому. Мы делаем все для создания позитивной среды, мотивирующей детей учиться, играть и наслаждаться шахматами всю свою жизнь.

ChessKid создан командой шахматистов, тренеров, дизайнеров и программистов, которые любят шахматы всей душой! Мы живем в разных странах мира и обладаем разным образованием и опытом работы. Среди нас есть профессиональные шахматисты, педагоги, тренеры по шахматам, программисты, родители и даже чемпионка мира по шахматам! Мы постоянно ищем и находим дополнительные возможности, позволяющие детям и взрослым наслаждаться шахматами.

Шахматы для всех!

К счастью, шахматы приносят радость не только взрослым!

Уникальная особенность шахмат заключается в том, что это игра для всех поколений. Играть и побеждать может каждый, вне зависимости от возраста, пола, роста, состояния здоровья или знания языка!

ChessKid помогает освоить шахматы детям во всем мире. Ребенок уровня мастерства, проживающий в любом часовом поясе, всегда найдет подходящего соперника на ChessKid. Нам нравится, что шахматы способны объединять друзей и семьи даже на расстоянии!

Внуки и внучки могут играть с бабушками и дедушками; родитель, уехавший в командировку, может играть с ребенком; двоюродные братья и сестры или просто друзья, живущие в разных городах, могут встречаться за шахматной доской. Все происходит в безопасной среде, где нет рекламы, общения с посторонними и можно сосредоточиться на шахматах.

Шахматы учат полезным в жизни навыкам

Шахматы - замечательное средство обучения. Их уроки полезны не только за доской. Эта игра учит стратегии, логике, распознаванию образов и пространственному мышлению. Она знакомит с историей, расширяет словарный запас, учит социальному взаимодействию и выражению эмоций, например, при победе или поражении. Шахматисты узнают, что у каждого действия есть последствия. Успех в игре связан с умением предсказать мысли и цели противника и отвечать за свои личные действия.

Hi! I'm a streamer and commentator for official events. I started playing chess at 7 and haven't looked back since. I graduated in Business Administration, but chess has always been my passion and my work (which is tricky sometimes!). My family is from Armenia, a country with a big tradition in chess, I use that to scare my opponents, and make them think I'm really good! It's been amazing to be part of this great team, and I look forward to be able to help bringing great content and streams for Portuguese-speaking users in the years to come.

FMMike Klein- Chief Chess Officer

FM stands for Fun Master. My favorite chess piece is the pencil on the scoresheet. I like writing about chess more than playing in tournaments, and Chess.com weirdly allows this blasphemous mindset. I'll take it! I report on tournaments, do live commentary, edit lots of videos and articles, and keep Chesskid.com running smoothly. I'm like a slightly older, less loquacious, lower-rated version of Danny. I like to travel, play tennis, bike, and play with my kitten, Ipso Facto.

Ranae- Education Director

As a school board member in a high-achieving system, I immediately saw the educational benefits that chess brings to students whether they competed on a chess team or not. Just playing the game for fun has value. I wanted every elementary student to have the opportunity to learn the game because of the critical thinking skills that are developed. Providing all students with a ChessKid account was a great way to do that. I love helping teachers utilize ChessKid in their classrooms and helping them teach kids how to play.

Шестилетний Франсуа Андре Даникан Филидор (родился 7 сентября 1726 года в Дре, близ Парижа) пел в хоре королевской часовни. К своим обязанностям он относился со всей серьезностью на которую способен ребенок его возраста. Он знал о планах своих родителей, решивших, что Франсуа должен продолжить семейную традицию давшую несколько поколений музыкантов, тем более что у мальчика был абсолютный музыкальный слух.

В последний момент смог выиграть, я играл как обычно Королевский Гамбит и мне пришлось сначала худо, потом начал стараться разменяться ферзями и в последний момент увидел мат и поставил!

Думал что проиграю уже хотел сдаваться, но в последний момент он проморгал

ферзя! И он сразу сдался! :)
