Competition to Win a Chess Set - winners announced!
To celebrate the start of a new year of learning, we've run a competition for ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ subscribers!
We think chess is an amazing way to develop young brains, so we decided to offer learners an opportunity to win their own chess set.
Chess can increase focus, strategic thinking and memory capacity, all of which are super skills for kids to develop - and which come in especially useful when it comes to success in mathematics.

To be in with a chance of winning, ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ learners had to do two things:
1. Complete 10 ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ lessons before the end of January 2025
2. Design their own chess piece - draw, paint, sculpt, digitize or otherwise create a piece that could be used in the game of chess.
We had lots of great submissions, and the judges were very impressed by the creativity on display. From kind and caring kings with seats to help other pieces off the board when they've been taken, to some incredible three-dimensional sculpted designs, our young ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ subscribers have blown us all away. Here just a few of the new chess pieces that were designed:
Competitions are for ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ subscribers only. Visit this page to find out more about ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ and how to sign up.
