Additional Resources
Websites to play on:
chess.com is one of the most popular chess websites. You can play games against random people or computers, do puzzles, and analyze games. Options are limited without paying, but it is still a great starting place! This is what I use now and would recommend it.
chesskid.com is the child version of chess.com, with more interactive and kid-oriented lessons. It has a very similar setup as chess.com, and is great for kids that find other websites non-engaging. The website can teach anything from the names of pieces to different openings! This is the website I used as a kid and couldn't recommend it more.
lichess.org is one of the most accessible chess websites out there. There are options for puzzles, gameplay, and even live chess games to watch. This website is great for players of any level. I don't use this website, but have heard nothing but positive things from people that do.
Learn the Game here. This is a simple walkthrough of how to set up the board, move pieces, etc. Great for beginners!
The Winchester Chess Club meets twice per month. It's a great way for students to meet others and gain experience! I attend as much as I can.
The Clark County Public Library also has a great selection of books you can get.
Books to Get:
Winning Chess Strategy for Kids is a book that has fun spin-off games, simple and complex puzzles, and more. This is one of the main books I used as a kid and always enjoyed it. (Ages 7-13)
From the same author as the previous book, Winning Chess Puzzles for Kids Vol. 2 is also an engaging book for kids. I used this book as well. (Ages 7-13)
Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations, and Games is a book FULL of puzzles. I haven't even finished the book. It might be daunting to look at, but it's a fun book that gets progressively harder the further you get.
