Online lessons for families anywhere in the world, and enrichment programs inside schools. One method, one curriculum, one team of coaches.

International Master Berik Akkozov founded ABCHESS in 2016 as a professional chess school. Today it is a complete learning system: live lessons, our own e-learning platform, weekly tournaments and school programs, all built on the same curriculum.
We teach chess to build critical thinking, focus and confidence, skills that carry over into school and beyond. In 2021 FIDE recognised our work with its award for innovation in online chess training.
