The Czech Chess Federation has started a cooperation with LearningChess. The aim of the cooperation is to ensure a centrally managed, countrywide access to online chess education material and tools for Czech primary school teachers and students. The LearningChess method will also be used in the training of chess circles for children registered under the Czech Chess Federation.”

It seems natural that School Districts or Chess Federations would like more control and more insight into the learning process of their schools and chess circles. The new Central Management system of LearningChess makes this possible, online, making talent spotting is easier than ever before.

I am coaching chess in various schools in and around Cambridge UK. As I used to be a competitive chess player myself, getting hold of teaching materials has never really been a problem for me. Add in a projector and a laptop with Chessbase installed and I was ready to go in any classroom. I was not actively looking for new teaching aids so how come I fell in love with the online tutor LearningChess.net?

A chess tournament between universities has not taken place in Australia in over a decade, but with the help of sponsors and enthusiastic work of the organizers the chess clocks have started in Melbourne recently. We can only earnestly thank LearningChess.net for helping make it happen!
