Learn chess with Nico the knight
A friendly chess coach for children: step-by-step lessons, 676 puzzles, robots that play like real kids, and games the whole family can play together.
Why families love it
🧭 Starts where your child is
A quick check finds their level, then a guided path takes them from watching Nico, to trying with a clue, to solving alone.
🧠 A coach, not just a game
Nico asks “What’s your plan?” and explains why moves work, in words kids understand.
👪 Play together
Family Match keeps games fair between grown-ups and kids. Team mode, Puzzle Duel and pass-and-play make chess social.
💛 Kind by design
Gentle encouragement after a tough run, optional daily time limits, and a grown-ups page to follow progress.
♿ For every child
Typed moves, screen-reader support, bigger pieces, high contrast, easier reading and calm mode.
🔒 Private and safe
No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no chat. Everything stays on your device.
Privacy policy
Last updated: [date]
SKY Chess Club is made by SKY Tech for children and families. This policy covers the SKY Chess Club apps for iOS and Android and the web version at skychessclub.com.
The short version
SKY Chess Club does not collect, store or share any personal information on our servers. Everything the app saves stays on the device it is used on.
What the app stores, and where
The app saves players’ nicknames, chosen animals, picture passwords, game progress, points, badges and settings only on the device, so children can continue where they left off. We never receive this information. Deleting the app deletes it.
Camera and photos
If a child chooses “Copy a real board”, the app can open the camera or photo library so they can see a photo of their own chessboard while copying the position. The photo is shown on screen only. It is not saved by the app and never leaves the device.
No ads, no tracking, no purchases
The app contains no advertising, no analytics or tracking tools, no third-party SDKs that collect data, no in-app purchases, no chat, and no links that leave the app.
Children’s privacy
The app is designed for children. Because we do not collect personal information, we do not collect personal information from children. Grown-up areas (adding or removing players, settings, the progress page) are protected by a grown-up check.
Changes
If a future version adds online features, such as playing friends, we will update this policy before releasing it and, where the law requires, ask for a parent’s consent first.

Common questions
How do I add a child?
On the “Who’s playing?” screen, tap “Add a player”. A grown-up answers a quick sum, then you choose a nickname, an animal, a look and three secret pictures.
My child forgot their picture password.
Open “Grown-ups: progress and settings” on the “Who’s playing?” screen and tap “New picture password” for that child. They’ll choose new pictures next time.
Can I limit how long my child plays?
Yes. On the grown-ups page, choose a daily play limit for each child. When time is up, Nico suggests a break; a grown-up can add 15 minutes.
Does SKY Chess Club collect my child’s data?
No. Everything stays on your device. There are no ads, no tracking and no accounts. See our privacy policy.
Can we play friends online?
Not yet. Version 1 works fully offline. You can play on one device with Family Match, Team mode, Puzzle Duel or pass-and-play.
How do I delete my child’s progress?
Remove the player from the grown-ups page, or delete the app to remove everything.
Accessibility and languages
In each child’s Settings: type moves, bigger pieces, a high-contrast board, easier reading and calm mode. Languages: English, Spanish, Hindi and Arabic.
