An AI chess coach for every child in the class.

Rooky teaches every child, one move at a time. Built by a FIDE Master.

An excited schoolboy points at a ChessDoer knight lesson on a lab computer: the knight's 8 squares are marked and Rooky cheers. Around it: the AI chess coach card (Rooky explains every move, and helps you improve), a gift worth 40 XP, and the rank card: rank 3, Knight, 8 streak, 240 XP.

How a ChessDoer class works

One period in the computer lab. A full chess course by a FIDE Master, with Rooky, the AI coach, teaching each child on screen.

A complete course, ready on day one

Four levels of lessons, puzzles, quizzes and exams, written and checked by a FIDE Master. Each child picks up where they stopped.

Rooky coaches every move

Rooky shows each idea with an arrow. The child plays the move, and Rooky checks it and gives a hint when they're stuck.

Practise until it sticks

Puzzles, quizzes and games against ten bots, with Rooky reviewing each game. Old topics come back so nothing is forgotten.

Four paths, from the first move

Every child starts at Starter. Each path ends in an exam, and passing it opens the next.

How every piece moves, check, checkmate and the special rules.

Exam opens bot games

Checkmate patterns, tactics, first openings and basic endgames.

Exam earns a certificate

Planning, deeper tactics and endgame technique.

Exam earns a certificate

Strategy, an opening repertoire and tournament play.

Exam earns a certificate

Common questions

Can a child really learn chess on a computer?

Yes, because they play every move themselves instead of watching. Rooky checks each move and helps when they're stuck. Quizzes, exams and reviews make it stick.

Does my child need chess experience?

No. Starter begins with the board itself and teaches one piece at a time.

What does the school need?

Computers with a modern browser and an internet connection. Nothing to install.

Is the AI coach a chatbot?

No. Children can't type to Rooky or to anyone else. Rooky works inside lessons and games: it explains moves, gives hints during games and shows mistakes after a game.
