LearningChess lanseres i Norge

(LearningChess launched in Norway – English version >>)

Norske sjakkspillere har savnet et så omfattende læreverk på norsk som LearningChess tilbyr nå. Både nybegynnere og sterke klubbspillere kan har mye å lære fra prisvinnende og interaktive online leksjoner.

LearningChess er en verdensomspennende plattform for å lære og spille sjakk. Den norske versjonen er oversatt av WIM Sheila Barth Stanford som arbeider fulltid som sjakktrener.

INTRODUCING LEARNINGCHESS 2

In the last ten years, we were continuously looking for a way to improve our services and aimed to provide better and better solutions for our students, coaches, and schools.

Throughout this year our team has been relentlessly working on a major upgrade, and we are pleased to announce that we will start rolling out new features and several new solutions under LearningChess 2 in 2019. We have not only modernized the development stack, but we are also releasing two long-awaited solutions.

Update: the open beta-test started on 30 June, 2019

Thanks to all of our subscribers for waiting patiently to the LearningChess 2 upgrade. We granted 2-month subscription to subscribers with expired licenses. We extended the license with 3-month to subscribers with valid licenses. Enjoy Learning Chess 2!

LogiQ Board user manual

UPDATE: We recommend checking our new, interactive, shareable LogiQ Board here: https://logiqboard.com/

The LogiQ Board is a much needed smart demonstration board that is developed according to the trends of modern chess education.

The LogiQ Board has an easy to use interface which speaks for itself.  In this manual, we go through step-by-step on the usage of the several logic and chess elements (see the picture below) LogiQ Board offers. We also disclose some tricks and tips in this manual.

EMYL – EMBED YOUR LESSONS

In the past few years, we received multiple inquiries from schools and coaches on how to embed our award-winning lessons into their websites.  As school internet security policies are quite strict, deeply integrating the system would make it a lot easier for students to reach the courses.

In EmYL the order of the lessons can be customized, and students can access them directly from the coach’s website. The solution still runs on the LearningChess servers, so no extra resources (server time, bandwidth, backup) are needed by the coaches.

CHESS BEHIND BARS – A REMARKABLE BOOK BY CARL PORTMAN

We would like to introduce a remarkable book about a new and unusual area where chess can be also used as a development tool. The author is Carl Portman, the English Chess Federation’s Manager of Chess in Prisons. In 2015 he was awarded the ECF President’s award for services to chess.

Yes, this area is the chess in prisons. Is it surprising? Not after reading the book!

The author, Carl Portman and Victoria Prentis
who supports Carl in his work in prisons.

Chess Behind Bars offers a guide to chess in prisons that will instruct and entertain regardless of your situation. It covers almost every aspect of chess imaginable – from the rules to chess history, from puzzles to famous games, and even some tips for improvement and how to motivate yourself. Especially powerful is the testimony from prisoners. It is a smorgasbord of chess, seen from an unusual angle.

CHESS FOR KIDS AT AGE 2-3?

We would like to introduce a unique development from Chess4Kids chess school in Switzerland. Roberto Schenker and his team recently developed the innovative MINIMASTER Program for children aged 2-5 years.   Chess4Kids integrated chess as one element out of many that supports the children on their way to explore their
