untateve Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 If no one steps up, I bet my two sons would play (as a team). I guarantee they'd lose every game but I'm amazed at how much they have gotten into chess. This morning, when I woke them to get ready for school, I told them I played a game last night. The first thing my 7-yr-old asked was, "Do you have a print out of the moves again?" They both had me replay the game on their chessboard while we had breakfast. As I type, my 10-yr-old is watching a chess DVD I bought him. Now the problem is, they are in bed by about 8:30 during the week (although I could let them stay up a bit later on friday night. Of course, they're just kids and I'm not sure adults want to play them (very understandable). So my two ideas, so far, are Hugh One or my kids.

Egret Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I play against 5th and 6th graders in my class all the time. I had a student start reading chess books during his free time. He studied up and beat me. I hadn't lost in my class for a couple of years. The kid set a goal to learn different strategies until he could beat me... and he did.

I am still undefeated against 6th, 7th and 8th graders. I did have one draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
