In March 2012 the European Parliament voted to introduce the Foundation’s program ‘Chess in School’ Europe-wide with a focus on chess as a powerful educational tool. In its first year the Foundation has developed a working model, built an organization to fulfill its ambition and taken the case for Chess in Schools to European politicians and policy makers. The mission of the non-profit organization is to bring the many educational benefits of chess to children and young people in Europe by providing a chess curriculum and enrichment programs. The Kasparov Chess Foundation Europe, launched mid 2011, is also celebrating its first anniversary. All teaching materials have been prepared by leading training specialists and chess experts. The Chess Teaching Platform is expected to be available in the Autumn 2012 and will be compatible with all popular computing platforms including laptops and tablets. The software also automatically provides detailed statistics on the progress of each pupil, group or class.
It includes a full chess curriculum, web-based training lessons, workbooks and an instruction manual for the teacher and the pupils. The Chess Teaching Platform is a web-based training program for children from 7 – 9 years. The Kasparov Chess Foundation Europe today in Brussels announced the release of the Chess Teaching Platform, a software that will enable teachers to teach chess in the classroom and enable pupils to further learn and practice at home with the aid of remote assistance.
