ChessMatec is designed with younger learners in mind. Students can sign up for their free account, which limits access to the first-level curriculum. Through a series of engaging, interactive chess, young children learn essential fundamentals.

Presented without any verbal instruction, kids are provided with visual examples to mimic the moves of chessboard pieces and play strategies. Each lesson begins with a limited view of the chessboard, and the viewpoint expands as children learn and master moves.

There are a total of eight instructional areas with 8-10 levels within each area awaiting to be unlocked. Children progress through locked areas as milestones are achieved. Free resources, including worksheets and coloring pages, are also available. Kids can access the platform from any device.

For $30 a year, you get the complete version, including full-fledged lesson plans, or you can opt to pay $4 per month instead. Each lesson offers an entertaining Kingdom video that teaches game rules and how chess pieces move. Following the video, they can enjoy interactive games and exercises reinforcing the learning experience.
