Not really teaching her how to play, just to memorize the names of the pieces.

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!

"An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."
— Benjamin Franklin: Founding Father of the United States of America

Chess is a good investment in creativity and thinking skills. These two are on the right track.

Thanks for sharing that, Laura--it really shows that you don't need to be 'old enough' to do something to do it anyway!
