Everything you need to start teaching

Ready-made lessons, mini-games and classic games — so you can start teaching straight away.

Structured lessons to cover the basics from how pieces move, essentials for openings, tactics and endgames.

150+ mini-games covering basic piece movement, capturing, checkmate, board vision and planning.

Inspire students by showing some of the most famous games of chess ever played by giants such as Morphy, Anderssen, Rubinstein and Capablanca.

Open ready-to-use content, involve the whole class, then let students try it for themselves.

Teach in the classroom or online, with the same lessons, board and interactive tools.

Teaching notes beside the board

Keep explanations, moves and comments with the position you’re teaching.

Explain ideas visually

Use arrows, circles and board stickers to highlight plans and key squares.

Present clearly

Fullscreen mode is ideal for a large interactive screen in the classroom. Lower board lets smaller children reach the touchscreen more easily.

Keep teaching offline

Install Teach from your browser and keep using lessons when school Wi-Fi is unavailable or restricted.

Structured teaching content can be brought into Acorn Chess Teach, just as we’ve done with Chess in Schools and Communities.

Proven with Chess in Schools and Communities

Acorn Chess has worked with CSC in the UK to bring its structured school curriculum into Teach for coaches to use in the classroom.

3 terms · 30 weeks · 300+ positions, mini-games and worksheets

All the CSC content is available for their coaches to use within Acorn Chess Teach in schools across the UK.

Your content can work the same way

Acorn Chess can support individual teachers, schools and chess organisations with their own structured teaching material.
