You highlight one of my favorite things about chess (second only to the social). When DS started playing and trying to win in tournaments, he needed to be reminded and encourage to take his time. The games were G/30 (each player gets 30 minutes to make their moves). He'd come out after 15 minutes wondering why he'd lost having only used six minutes on his clock. Now, three years later, he comes out of five to six hour games wishing he had more time complaining of "time pressure".
My point is, if your children like the chess, they will learn to take their time.
And, yes, I thought (hoped) you'd find humor in the list.
