Chess is a great game, for beginners and experts alike! I started playing chess when I was in the 6-8 range. Did I learn all the best strategies? No. But did I learn how to reason logically and plan ahead? Absolutely! I love that you can play this game so easily online with
Chess.com, which I have done many times with students in my classroom. I can't wait to teach this to my son (we have done checkers so far, which he caught on quick!)!
