All About Weiqi and Chess

[watmekiasu]

This reminds me of how I hate playing chess with my P3 dd. Really hurts my ego to be beaten by her after less than 20 moves. She's always going \"What's your strategy, mom?\" when I'm actually just trying to evade and survive in every single move - WHAT STRATEGY! :x If she goes \"Mom, let me give you a tip - you'd better move ...... OR ELSE !!!!\" :stupid: one more time, I swear I'll throw the chess set down the chute. You know, I was in my school's chess club and I recall endless enjoyable games with my friends without worrying too much about strategy and whatnot. It was a social thing.


To save myself from further embarrassement, maybe I should send dd to one of these clubs or classes where she'll find more promising opponents.

Do they teach strategy or just provide you with a more advanced opponent at these classes? Roughly what's the fees like?

What kind of age are we talking about for pre-schoolers? 3years, 4years, 5years?

according to the National Int’l Chess Championship for Pri Sch which is held annually in March every year (first weekend after T1), ALL medal winners Under 7 age (P1 kids) group have already been SCF rated prior to the event…i.e. most of them already attended trainings and competitions recognized by SCF before P1
