This is only one of a number of website I run. Please feel free to visit my other websites.
chessKIDS academy is an internationally renowned website pioneering the interactive teaching of chess to children.
Features include a complete interactive course of lessons taking children from learning the moves through to adult club standard, many quizzes and video games, five computer programs to play against and very much else. There is also a lot of advice for parents and teachers. There is also an online shop for all your chess requirements.
If you are interested please spend a few hours browsing the site yourself before letting your kids loose on it. Start by reading the introductory pages, the FAQs and the Parents' and/or Teachers' pages. Then look at the Kids' section. There are two ways in - the original school-based lessons and the new story-based version which incorporates the quizzes and video games along with the original lessons.
I am currently working on a complete rewrite of the lessons with many improvements. Please watch the site for further details.
Although I am no longer so closely involved with
Richmond Junior Chess Club I still run the website. Visit this site for details of when and where we meet and what we do.
A few years ago I started up the
Chess Addict website, based on the Chess Addict books and magazine column written in conjunction with Mike Fox, who sadly died in 2005. I didn't get very far, however, and it's not currently being developed further. The original www.chessaddict.com domain has been taken down but I've put it up here for now.
I also own the
childrensrepublic.org domain name. This will, if I ever have time, be used for a website publicizing my views on education and childhood issues. There's nothing on there at the moment, though.
