In the context of the development of information technology and computers we can talk about equipping schools with internet networks, intranet, computers, tablets and mobile phones which contain software that promotes the development of online education successfully and efficiently. The training of chess-playing students is an essential objective in obtaining good results in competitions. In this sense, the theoretical training must be harmoniously combined with the development of psychomotor qualities, and the teacher-trainer must demonstrate a rigorous ability to select methods and means from physical education and sports, as well as those specific to psychomotor skills, necessary to achieve the proposed objectives for an effective training of chess-playing students, both for classical and online competitions. The research was carried out over a period of two months (October, 2020 - December, 2020) on two groups of children aged between 8 and 10 years old, from School No. 17 Botosani, representing the experiment group (28 students) and the control group ( 28 students, too). The methods used in conducting the study were the observation method, the testing method and the statistical-mathematical method.
