Press Release
'School Chess Ltd. has launched a ground breaking website for school chess clubs http://www.schoolchess.net/en which is designed to facilitate live chess play between children and young people inschools and school chess clubs throughout the UK and beyond. Junior chess clubs are springing up all over the UK, both in schools and outside and numbers in existing clubs have mushroomed in recent years. All this shows that chess is one of the most enjoyable and exciting ways for children to learn how to think.
The site provides a safe learning environment for all users with absolutely no on-site advertising or pop-ups. The only personal information stored is a player's first name and surname initial. Teachers & players can access and review all their past games and learn from over 1,000 teaching and 'master' games stored on the site.
For players, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.schoolchess.net">http://www.schoolchess.net</a><!-- m --> gives them the chance to test their chess strength against the whole world! It places them at the forefront of technology, and it has the capacity to liberate them from any staleness in their own chess club - there's a whole exciting world out there to explore and we open the gate.
Hassle-free online chess for schools. Teachers are automatically notified by email when invitations to play are received from other schools; so there's no reason to miss a potential match ever again. Whether it’s finding the perfect opponents using the clever search facility, or choosing a randomschool to play, the teachers love it. Itinerant chess teachers can be linked to multiple schools – a great feature.
When playing overseas opponents, a full auto-translation service is available, meaning teachers can chat in their own language, and players will understand messages too.
www.schoolchess.net offers a tailor-made educational website to children and young people in order to learn how to play chess, to improve their skills and to gain more match play experience.
Let me know if I can help further.
All the best,
Ian (Masson)'
I recommend this innovation as being a good solution for busy teachers/coaches and schools that don't happen to own a minibus! Chris H. =)
