As parents, watching our children glued for hours in front of screens is painful, seeing them fully absorbed in games, endlessly scrolling from one video to the next, or getting lost in reels with no real meaning or purpose makes us feel helpless. In those moments, the feeling you get as a parent is that the glow of the screen on their faces dims and overshadows their skills, their dreams and yours as well. This is because the number of opportunities wasted in front of smart screens is truly immense…
It’s important to know that you’re not alone. Because most families around the world are struggling with issues related to smart screens, smart screens have become essential in our daily routines since they've become a part of nearly every aspect of our lives. The balance is the key. While we, as adults, find it hard to keep ourselves away from using smart screens, it’s even more difficult to take them away from a child who's fascinated by them. The balance lies in trying to shift as much screen time as possible towards positive and beneficial use, to minimize the potential harm.
Today’s screens can be an amazing production machine if employed wisely to organize time and tasks. They can also be a tool for skill development and education, provided that we offer them the right platform that can provide engaging and entertaining factors that rival children’s experiences with gaming screens. This is what we offer you today in the ChesSystem platform...
And this is the challenge we’ve been working on for two years at ChesSystem: creating a balanced program that invests a significant portion of the time our children spend in front of screens into acquiring skills, not just in the virtual world, but also in real-life situations they face everyday
At ChesSystem, we use chess as a tool for skill development because chess inherently possesses the engaging elements that keep our children glued to screens for hours. This has made it much easier for kids to embrace it. In this way, we’ve been able to solve the difficult equation of transforming screens from a threat to our children's mental and physical well-being into a tool for developing their skills.
In 2023, the website frontiersin.org published a study conducted by a group of researchers in Romania on 774 parents, titled "The Role of Chess in the Development of Children – Parents' Perspectives." This study explored the role of chess in developing children's skills from the parents' point of view. The results showed that parents observed how chess helps children enhance their cognitive abilities, personality, and competitive spirit. Most parents focused on the positive effects of chess on their children's growth, the development of positive emotions, and how it helped them overcome negative feelings.
The parents also mentioned that their satisfaction with their children's development increased as a result of the knowledge their children accumulated after chess lessons.
Chess is not just a game; it's a profound mental sport with roots that stretch back thousands of years. From the very first moments of its invention in India until today, it continues to captivate millions across generations, and attract minds across continents and cultures.
A Pawn begins its journey on the chessboard confronting stronger pieces, facing challenges and difficulties, until it reaches for the last square of the board where it gets promoted to be a Queen. So as your child's journey with us. It begins from the pawn stage until we reach the King stage. This is what we offer you in this program.
The journey consists of 6 levels.
Each level has 4 ranks. Its duration is 4 months. Each rank is one month.
Each rank has 8 training meetings with an average of two training sessions per week.
At ChesSystem, our curriculum is designed to teach chess with the goal of developing essential skills and turning wasted screen time into something beneficial for our children. Over more than a year and a half, we have developed the ChesSystem curriculum to ensure gradual learning for children. We achieve this by using activities that kids love, such as competitions and storytelling.
Each stage in the "Pawns to Pros" program is independent, meaning you can pause your subscription at any time without needing to progress to the next stage. In each stage, the child acquires a unique set of chess and life skills that differ from those in other stages.
Our coaches are not only passionate and skilled chess professionals but are also trained in effective communication with children. They are adept at using the ChesSystem curriculum to simplify complex concepts and present them in engaging ways that resonate with kids. This approach helps to strengthen the intrinsic motivation of our children to learn and grow.
From the very beginning, ChesSystem has maintained consistent communication between parents and coaches. This ongoing dialogue has been crucial in shaping ChesSystem and its current methodology.
You have the opportunity to get a refund of your subscription fee if you are not satisfied with the program within the first week of training.
The ChesSystem platform has been developed using the latest technological tools to engage children and enhance their skills. It is compatible with all types of tablets, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
In the ChesSystem community, your child meets other kids with the same goal of developing their skills. This fosters a spirit of healthy competition that motivates them to achieve their goals.
A motivation program has been designed to provide continuous encouragement by awarding points to our trainees. These points can be converted into digital currency, which can be redeemed for gifts from the ChesSystem Store. This way, children constantly feel a sense of accomplishment.
Our training focuses not just on chess, but also on teaching essential life skills such as patience, perseverance, planning, and handling setbacks.
