Chess for Kids - Play & Learn Wiki

I love this game and I just started and I just got the gold membership and it’s so much fun! But a few of my games I was about to win and my opponent just finished there move and says it’s my turn but then all a sudden I won’t be allowed to to move my piece so I usually use the call a draw button and it works again but then they accept and I was about to win but it was a draw. So if you can fix that it would be great thanks so much! P.S a cool feature you can maybe do is let the players on the match decide there color and talk in the game but NO bullying or trash talking. I’m about to turn 12 and I really think you should play this kid chess game!

Our gifted program 2nd through 6th grades, in our medium sized city is using this program. I have the students use the app on their devices if they have access. Many use the website only, or in addition to their app. This app is amazing. The students love to play me in slow chess. They play each other on the fast games, and have grown in their knowledge an skills as chess players. We hope to form chess clubs at our schools and maybe city-wide at some point, and Chess Kid will be a part of our program.

This is a great game for children to play, they have levels that can be chosen easy and hard. I loved ChessKid because my skill and opportunity got me to the bullet point, unlike most some games, they make it so hard to understand what it is like to have a chess partner in online or so-called robots like QWERTY or things like that. But at when you have to sign up to be a member of ChessKid, you have to lots of thing as if cleaning the whole world. All in all this is a fun games to play.

Videos are silent if the phone ringer is off. Why?? Accessibility feature request: we are paying for an account for my daughter who just turned 5. She adores the app but she only reads at the 6 or 7 year old level and cannot read the text on all the king level lessons. Can you either make this text accessible to the native screen reading functionality or add a button to read the lesson text aloud?

So this app is great, no bugs as far as I know. The only bad part is that you have to have membership to play all the bots. Good thing is: You don’t need the membership to play. I just find this app helpful as an endless “Get as many pawns as possible to the other side of the board” game. For some odd reason, I just like getting queens. Anyway, I totally recommend this app for Kids. Happy playing! (Remember to #Vote-eat-pet!)

This game is super fun. It teaches you how to play chess, and then you can vs another person, or vs a robot, and then pick how hard you want the game to be. You can also watch videos, and much more. Also, you might look at the title: ChessKid. But really, it’s for all ages. And best of all, no adds!!!! I really like this game 😊

ChessKid has been a wonderful part of my life and it will continue to be. It is wonderful because you can play games online( fast and slow chess and puzzle duel ). You can also explore wonderful puzzles and educate your brain with tactics and thinking I hope this review helps.!

This is the best kids chess app ever. It has fun videos and good puzzles 🧩 with no inappropriate content. I love it! (Please change these 2 things: let us choose the level of the puzzles and add more profile pictures. Other than that, it’s perfect! 👍😄🍀 Thanks for creating this app!! 🏆

It’s a good game overall. It teaches you tactics and let’s you play against people online. The thing is, it glitches out a bunch in matches. I was in a tournament while in fourth place, fighting for third, and I was even winning by far. He might as well have resigned, and after all he had left was a rook and two pawns, the game glitched. It suddenly switched the timer so it was counting on my side, but it wasn’t my turn. I then tried moving a piece, and I couldn’t move it. Then when I tried to go back in the match to see what happened, it completely exited me out of the game, and I didn’t get a ranking at all in the tournament. It’s a great game, but developers, please fix this glitch.

This app has everything to be amazing, but yet it lack some features that would make it so much better. If kids could search for their friends who have also signed up it would motivate them to challenge each other and play more. Even in the Gold membership this is not possible. Also, the latest update brought some kind of bug, the audio of the videos are completely muted. My kid has learned so much from watching them, and now he is annoyed that he can’t hear anything. I wish the developers would look into the “search for friends” feature.

Downloaded the app for my 5 year old. He has the kid account and I’ve created a parent account. It would be great if I could set up another parent account so that my husband can play a game against our son too. Also, I received a message that if I upgrade my (son’s) account, the upgrade would also be reflected on the parents account. So I upgraded my parent account thinking the upgrade would also impact my son’s account, but to no avail! Lastly, my husband created a parent account in hopes of finding my son’s account... he found him but it doesn’t offer the capability to play with him.

There’s so much to like about this app, but the crux of the deal for me is I downloaded it to play chess with my kids. The app won’t respond to challenges (as in, there’s a large icon asking me to accept or deny a challenge, but it doesn’t respond to touch while everything else will), there’s no contact info for support within the app, and when I *was* able to play with my kids the app would never notify either of us that a turn had occurred. For what it’s worth I use the “adult” chess app as well and I have no issues at all.

I don’t understand how this app has such good ratings, I’ve never had a good experience with it. Last time I tried a year ago or so I couldn’t castle queen side, trying would crash the app. Fine, I won’t make that move I was just playing with my daughter so no big deal. Then buttons stopped working and I gave up. Just now I reinstalled it. The interface looks better. I immediately got a notification when my daughter invited me to a game. Things were looking better... until I couldn’t accept the game. Or decline it. None of the buttons to interact with the game worked and we couldn’t play. This app has great ideas and potential but cannot seem to get the most basic functionality working.

I am a parent with my son signed up as one of my Kids. We’ve tried several times to start a Fast Game, but each time the challenge was accepted, the app disconnected me with the “None of your kids are available” pop-up even though I’m literally looking at the game open on my son’s screen with the timer counting down until I “lose” the game due to “abandonment”. The “None of your kids are available” feature needs to be corrected because this ruins the ability to play online games with my son and/or starts games and forcing my login to “abandon” them and ruin in-game ratings with invalid win-loss stats. I will update my review and star-rating when this is corrected in the app.
