Polly Chess Academy: learn chess from scratch
About Polly Chess Academy
Polly the parrot teaches children chess from the very beginning, one piece at a time. Each lesson introduces a piece, shows how it moves and lets children practise it on the board, before moving on to check and checkmate. The lessons are short and friendly, so children never feel lost. By the end they know how every piece moves and what checkmate means. It is a gentle start for beginners and a good refresher for children who know a little already. It suits children from about five years old upwards. It is free to play in full, with no ads and no chat. Play online in your browser on a computer, tablet or phone, or offline in the Playtime613 app for Windows. Sign in with your family account and your child's progress comes with them on any device.
