"The Chess Software System That Inspires Kids To Think"

Our approach really is different:

  • For twenty years Think Like A King has been recognized as a powerful tool that can make chess successful in any learning environment. And with our new online learning system here at The Chess School, it's even better than ever.
  • The uniquely designed Chess Workouts™ do far more than just teach great chess. They engage every user in a rich and highly descriptive learning process that uses chess to build critical thinking skills.
  • We support thinking not as an afterthought, but as part of an immaculately designed learning structure that also invokes reading, vocabulary, language and analytic skills. All while being completely engaging—and fun!
  • With the powerful motivational features in Chess Club Manager™, rewards no longer go just to the few destined to become gifted competitors.
  • Instead, the entire system is based on driving and rewarding learning effort—because that’s what ultimately leads to successful thinking. And the results couldn’t be more dramatic.
So ask yourself: Do you want to teach just a few good chess players...

Or do you want to teach everyone to Think Like A King?
