Meet Chessto, your virtual chess teacher

Chessity has released the biggest update since the start of the program. The most striking new feature is the chess teaching robot Chessto. Chessto is our newest development in using articifial intelligence for chess teaching and is unique in the world. So now it's time to properly introduce Chessto to you.

Meet Chessto, your virtual chess teacher:

Chessto is a friendly robot that helps children and adults to learn chess. Chessto is a layer of artificial intelligence that teaches and trains users during a chess game by delivering tips and advice based on their personal chess level and user data. This deepens the learning process, allowing the chess teacher to focus on personal coaching. And kids simply love to have a little chess friend that helps them play chess.

With the aid of Chessto schools can now make chess available to their entire student body.

Moreover, Chessto enables the classroom teacher who never played chess or knows only some chess to include scholastic chess in the curriculum. With the aid of Chessto, in the addition to the existing gamification and teaching bot technology in Chessity, schools worldwide can now make chess available to their entire student body.

Playing chess exercises the brain and stimulates it in unrivaled ways. It is a great means to develop 21st-century skills, like critical and creative thinking. Chessity is devoted to take a lead role in the development of scholastic chess. Our goal is to bring the benefits of chess to all children throughout the world. We continuously work at improving our teaching method to make that possible, guided by the feedback of our users. The development of Chessto is big step in this process.

Chessto has been integrated in Chessity's learning path. When students are ready to apply their basic chess skills (learned in het Pawn Level) in real games of chess, Chessto enters the stage.
