This paper describes an interface and interaction environment for a public online Chess server, on the web, as an educational tool. The main purpose of the environment is to improve Chess teaching in Brazilian public schools. The vast majority of such Chess online servers consider and take for granted that users are specialists rather than learners. The solution described in this paper is inserted in an education environment, aiming at providing users with direct access to the contextually significant actions by means of strategic and operational help.
