Bill Kilpatrick, owner of Real Ability in CA, and I are working on a book based on our experience with teaching young children to play chess.  Over the last year we ran a pilot of an ecourse, teaching parents how to teach very young children to play.

The pilot program was a smashing success!

We are in the process of writing everything up in a book format, which will be published by Mongoose Press (an elite chess book publisher).

This particular book will be geared to parents of children aged 2-7.  Any parent will be able to pick up this book and learn along with the child, teaching them in a way that keeps them interested and wanting more.

We had parents on the pilot who knew nothing about chess, who did very well.  Various parents reported that they had incredible bonding experience through teaching chess and that their children remained interested in playing even after the lessons ended.

We’ll keep you posted on the book’s progress!
