Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Talented in chess- what to do?

My DS also spent some time on chess kids academy (www.chesskids.com), there are some lessons and easy games to play.
I really don't understand of the rating my self, I guess the better ones gets, the higher rating. I don't know, what are the ranges.
Also, DS learned all the pieces at the same time, it took him about an hour and he was ready to play. (I personally thought, that chess this early was too complicated to comprehend. I guess it is not.) So I don't really have advice on that. But it sounds like a good method.
Albs,Thanks for the websites, I will check into that.

DS5 and DS7 started playing chess in spring. They did repeatedly all 3 levels of Fritz & Chester and love chess.

I found a marvelous chess teacher. The boys started group Internet lessons and it's going really well.

Niki, JBDad I will PM you later on and see if your kids want to play with mine. 1000 is way over their head though.
