Correspondence

In a correspondence game you can take up to seven days for every move.

Clubs

In a club, everyone trains towards a shared weekly goal and can take on other clubs.

For parents.

Chessura suits children who are just starting out, and equally adults who finally want to learn chess.

One device for all

Up to five players can share one device. Every child has their own progress and can protect it with a code.

Mistakes are part of it

A wrong answer costs nothing. The app explains which move would have been right and asks the exercise again later.

Short sessions

A lesson takes only a few minutes. Anyone who has to stop can carry on later at the same place.

A protected space

Children under 13 cannot write free messages and pick their name from suggestions. We follow up on every report.
