I’m pleased that our youtube video is still going strong. People seem to enjoy watching it:

Last week I started teaching my 2 year old to play chess. She has been watching her older brother and sister (aged 7 and 4) play for some time and was ready for her first lesson.

We started by discussing the pieces and their names. Two pieces a day is what I suggest at this level. End when they still want more!

Serena did very well.  I was impressed.  Her big sister came over and helped out at one point. She liked playing the game of passing pieces back and forth, calling out their names.

Next step will be to introduce the board!
