Skills
with Chess
Chess as a tool for better education, stronger communities, healthy aging and effective personality development.
Chess is more than a game. It's a space where people grow – cognitively, socially, emotionally, and even therapeutically.
The consulting firm André Vögtlin & Partner AG develops and delivers social chess formats that empower people, unlock potential, and enhance quality of life.

Our concept
We use chess to foster skills that are crucial in everyday life, professional life, and challenging situations: concentration, creativity, problem-solving, fairness, respect, patience, self-regulation, and a healthy approach to mistakes. Our formats combine logical-strategic thinking with socio-emotional competence – creating lasting learning experiences that have a real impact.
Our range
Individual programs instead of standard solutions
"I learned about chess as an additional teaching tool, which – thanks to simple mini-games – can be used effectively in challenging classroom situations."
