Duolingo’s next move is teaching chess

Duolingo is revolutionizing its learning platform by introducing chess as a new subject, marking the company’s debut since rolling out music and math in 2023. This marks an exciting expansion of Duolingo’s educational offerings, aiming to demystify chess for learners of all skill levels through puzzles, tactics, and interactive mini-games with beloved character Oscar. The course is currently in early testing and will soon be available on iOS, with plans to expand support across other platforms and languages in the future. By making chess accessible, Duolingo seeks to attract millions of new learners worldwide, continuing its successful streak in gamified learning.
