Suitability
Children on this course should be interested in chess in some way. Maybe they have expressed an interest in board games, have watched chess youtubers or just keep asking their parents to play with them. Whatever it is, as long as they have an interest, they are welcome.
This course teaches very young children the basics of chess through storytelling and mini games. We aim to build completely foundational knowledge from nothing. However, this beginner’s course is not suitable for children with a strong grasp of chess already. If your child knows the names of the pieces and how they move, the 9+ year old course is more suited.
