Chip Chess and Mini Chess are scientifically certified learning methods by the educational initiative “Schach für Kids e.V.,” with which children can age-appropriately learn playing chess. Chip Chess can be played alone or with a partner. The normal chess rules apply. The goal is to capture the most chips or enemy pieces. The functions of the chips create manageable game situations. Mini Chess is played without chips but with enemies. The normal chess rules apply. The games have different goals and are played with less pieces (often without the king). This keeps the game clear and the characters’ movements are internalized. You can create and play your own Chip and Mini Chess games. When you think they are good, you can send them to us and we’ll check it and maybe publish it in this app.in dieser App.
