I have tried to include as many 'extras' as I can, to help a person lean how to play chess from scratch, by using this site. The 'resource assets' I have made as 'extras' are accessible from the side menu. They include:
- an assembly that teachers could use to raise awareness of the 'Chess Club'
- worksheets that develop design and technology, literary and mathematical skills; extending vocabulary, improving spatial awareness, detection of mathematical patterns and application of mathamatical co-ordinates. They also widen a child's appreciation of Western culture.
 whiteboard resources - a cyber-chessboard that can be used to play out games or teach strategy; PowerPoint presentations that go through the key features of the initial stages - plus it is very easy to show pages from the site itself on the whiteboard.- 'can do' sheets that can be used to record a child's progress and reward learning.
- 'do-it-yourself' chessboards - to help those who do not yet have a chess board and pieces. I have included worksheets that you can use to 'make' your own chessboard and set of pieces (with a bit of glue, a pair of scissors and some colouring crayons). I have also included a cyber-chess set - a Flash graphic swf chessboard with pieces. You can use this with your computer. Its use will help develop 'mouse-skills'.
