Babychess is a creative chess program designed for children aged 30 months to 6 years, aimed at developing essential thinking skills such as logical thinking, critical thinking, creative thinking, independent thinking, and problem-solving. The benefits of chess in education have been increasingly supported by scientific studies and are widely applied in schools worldwide at various levels.

Babychess becomes more captivating than ever with creative chess-related stories and interactive games played on a giant chessboard.

Children are encouraged to embody characters from the chess game, completing tasks and earning rewards.
