FAQ
1. What age is the course for?
The course is designed for children aged 5 and up.
2. Does my child need to know anything about chess?
Not at all. The course starts from the very beginning — even before the first move. Your child learns about the chessboard, the pieces, and the rules step by step.
3. Do I need to know chess to help my child?
No. A narrator explains what to do, and your child practices directly on an interactive chessboard. Younger children may appreciate some help, but you don’t need any chess knowledge yourself.
4. How does the course work?
Your child listens to short explanations, makes moves on an interactive chessboard, and solves exercises. Each new concept is followed by practice, so children learn by doing — not just watching.
5. Is this a real chess course or just a game?
It’s a complete beginner’s chess course built as a quest. Children progress through 12 stages, learning real chess rules and skills while completing exercises and earning quest rewards.
6. What keeps children motivated?
The course turns learning into a quest with 12 stages, 12 legendary heroes, and 90 quest rewards to earn. Every exercise brings your child closer to the next milestone, giving them a reason to keep going.
7. What happens if my child makes a mistake?
Mistakes are part of learning. Your child can get hints, return to an explanation, and try again. There’s no need to rush — the goal is to understand each concept before moving on.
8. How long does the course take?
Children with plenty of time to practice may complete one stage in a day or a day and a half, making two to three weeks a possible pace for the full course (12 stages, 915 exercises). There’s no deadline — children can learn at their own pace and revisit any stage.
9. What devices does the course work on?
The course runs in a web browser on a computer, tablet, or phone — no app to install. For the best learning experience, we recommend a computer or tablet. The larger screen makes it easier to follow explanations, see the chessboard clearly, and complete exercises.
10. Can we try the course for free?
Yes! The first two stages are free, no credit card needed. Your child can start exploring the course and solving exercises before you decide whether to purchase the full course.
11. How much does the full course cost?
The full course is a one-time payment of $48. You can find the payment details on our pricing page.
12. What will my child be able to do after completing the course?
Your child will know how every chess piece moves, how to capture pieces, protect the king, castle, recognize check, deliver checkmate, and understand when a game ends in a draw. The course builds the essential skills needed to play a complete game of chess.
