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.

Ok, check (no pun intended ;p ) ...the doc couldn't calculate DS's IQ but I think he's MG. He wasn't playing chess at 3, but at 6 he played it well enough to beat his older sister and even me a few times (in my defense I thought "he's 6... how good can he be... might as well start dinner while we play") ....and presto: "Checkmate, Mama!!!" (oops) ;p
