Great ideas, Trinity! Oh, but DH absolutely realizes "this"....he's just listening to people talk about how it can be detrimental to grade skip. Of course, the people he's listening to never skipped grades so they speak not from experience!

Funny...DH and DS already play Chess. In fact, DH says DS is the only person he has to think to beat these days (out of 4 teen nephews, me, and DS).

I did pretty much say that he cannot make an educated decision about this so he'll have to either educate himself or leave it up to me. I've invited him to share in my research but so far he hasn't, so....
