FBCL's Online “Homework Help” Service Offers Chess Tutoring

March 2025

Fort Bend County Libraries’ Brainfuse HelpNow (Homework Tutoring) service offers free online chess tutoring for all ages and skill levels, from beginners learning the basics to advanced players honing their skills.

Live, on-demand, online chess tutoring is available Monday through Thursday, from 3:00 to 9:00 pm CST. Note: these hours are not the same as the regular Homework Help assistance, which is available seven days a week.

To access the Brainfuse HelpNow chess tutors during the designated time, click on the “Research” tab, then “Homework & Tutoring,” and select “Brainfuse Live Homework Tutoring.” Once the Brainfuse website is open, the chess tutors can be found under the “Expert Help” column as the “Featured Service.”

To engage in the “Expert Help” section, type in the barcode number from a FBCL library card and then enter the “Featured Service” area. There is no time limit to the sessions. 

Brainfuse’s chess tutors have certifiable qualifications such as high Elo ratings (2000+), chess coaching experience, and current or previous titles (e.g. expert/candidate master).

For more information, call the FBCL Communications Office at 281-633-4734, or the nearest FBCL library.
