Duolingo’s next move is teaching chess
Duolingo, the world’s most popular learning app, is adding a new subject to its curriculum: Chess.
Now in early testing, the Chess course marks the company’s first new subject since launching Music and Math in 2023 and brings one of the oldest games into the world of bite-sized, gamified learning. Most lessons focus on solving short puzzles to sharpen your thinking, and learners can apply what they’ve learned in fast-paced “mini-matches” or full games against the in-app chess coach, Oscar, one of Duolingo’s beloved characters. Duolingo will roll Chess out to learners on iOS in English in the coming weeks, with support for additional operating systems and language interfaces planned in the months ahead.
