Live previewThe kids’ app Live

Hi! Ask your assistant for something new.

Coach Knight

What you can build

Ask for it the way you’d ask a friend.

  • Lessons and puzzles

    Step-by-step lessons, puzzles and timed challenges, slotted anywhere on the road.

    “Make a mate-in-one puzzle for my son. Put it after Back-rank mate.”

  • Worlds

    New backgrounds with their own board colours.

    “Draw a volcano world with glowing lava.”

  • Piece sets

    Whole new chess pieces, drawn for your kids.

    “Draw a chunky set of pieces that look like smooth pebbles.”

  • Coaches

    A new friend to talk your kids through every lesson.

    “Draw a new coach: a friendly little dinosaur called Dot.”

  • Pointers

    A mouse pointer with some character.

    “Make the kids a mouse pointer shaped like a little rocket.”

  • Languages and voices

    The app and its lessons in your family’s language, with voices.

    “Translate everything into Malay.”

Checked before your kids see it

Every build has to pass the same 8 tests as our own lessons. Nothing goes live until they all pass, and there’s no waiting for approval.

  • The lesson is complete
  • Every position is a real chess position
  • Every solution is legal and reaches its goal
  • Find-all squares and quiz answers are right
  • Coach lines are short enough for the age
  • No links, emails, phone numbers or unsuitable words
  • Worlds are easy to see
  • Worlds, pieces, coaches and pointers are safe shapes only
  • 8 of 8 tests passed. It’s live.

You stay in charge

  • Preview every build before your kids play it.
  • Choose which child can play it.
  • Remove anything with one click.
  • Plans from real play: your assistant can read each child’s progress to see what they find hard. You can switch this off.

Works with the tools you use

Everything runs on your computer. Builds never leave it unless you share them.
