LOL - That's a warped yardstick you've got there. There is no average chess playing level for 5 or 6 year olds - unless you count using the pieces to stage battles!

Yes, MG 5 year olds can learn how the chess pieces move, if they are interested, but not average 5 or 6 year olds.

Short of getting an IQ test now, or using Talent Ignighter, you can't know for sure how your child will test, but it's reasonable to expect that your son will qualify. BTW - do you know what kind of test they use to identify kids? Is it a group test or in individual test?
