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 is a space where people grow – cognitively, socially, emotionally, and even therapeutically. André Vögtlin & Partner AG develops and teaches social chess formats that empower people, unlock potential, and improve 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.
