A brief history of ChessKid.com and its incredible journey thus far. 

FM Mike Klein (FunMasterMike) reflects:

I joined ChessKid more than 10 years ago and more than 9 million members ago. I’m super proud of our team in reaching this milestone, but I also need to thank all the coaches, academies, school districts, and families who believe in ChessKid and support our mission to grow chess everywhere!...

—FM Mike Klein

ChessKid President Kulsum Qasim is equally excited about prospects for the future:

"I'm looking forward to growing our community even more, so that EVERY kid around the globe can play and learn from the amazing game of chess for generations to come!"

—Kulsum Qasim, ChessKid President

This year, ChessKid will be turning 14 with over ten million ChessKids, new friends, and opportunities to learn, play, and grow. That's ten million more reasons why ChessKid.com is the best place for kids to enjoy chess.
