I think your 6yo is better at chess than my 8yo, from what you have written earlier, but my 8yo likes playing on ICC, mostly at the game/15minutes time control, and has won some games, maybe 25% of those he has played. If you lose, your rating falls, and you are matched with opponents of a similar rating. If your son uses a moniker which does not reveal he is a child, I don't think other members will know.
