We at Your Chess Coach are often asked, "What age should I start teaching my child to play chess?" This video clip shows that you can start as early as 2 years old. Start with naming the pieces and make sure the lessons are short and fun!
Many parents are searching for the next Bobby Fischer, the next child genius to sweep the chess field and become world chess champion. Although that would be wonderful, the important thing is that our children get a good sound fundamental education in chess. Why? Because chess gives kids an advantage in this world.

Actually learning the names of the pieces is the first step in teaching chess to a child (or anyone for that matter). We are creating ecourses designed to teach parents and educators to teach very young children to play. We are currently piloting this program with 25 parents and it is going very well. The whole trick to teaching chess is to make each step very easy and doable. This makes lessons enjoyable. Start with the names of the pieces and go from there!
Awesome! Chess almost guarantees the children will go on to college. The USCF has tournamments monthly. I had spent a year and a half at my local library teaching chess to children, when one day the librarian took notice of me. Instead of getting to know me, she simply assumed "nobody is that kind". "He must be a perv." And banned me for life!
wow !! :-) you`re kids are so smart and cute at such a young age . I which somebody taught me about chess at such an age then maybe i would have been more successfull in life hahaha .
