Description

Chess is a game that benefits from a bit of instruction, and best learned at an early age. If your child is just starting out, he or she will benefit greatly from these two introductory chess lessons with Chess@3.


Chess@3's Curriculum is a collection of fun stories that teaches chess to 3-10 year olds. Before now, chess education traditionally began at 8 or as early as 7. Chess@3 gets 3 year olds playing and loving chess.


These simple stories teach kids how to play chess without their knowing they're learning. The Rules of chess are usually too abstract for 3 year olds to grasp - there are too many of them, and some rules are too complicated. These stories give reasons why these rules in chess exist: Kings don't move one square at a time, they move slow. One king moves slow because his belly is so big, and one moves slow because he's afraid of everything. Kids just follow these memorable stories, and without knowing it, start to play chess.

Special Instructions

All lessons will be done at home. For children ages 3-7. Each lesson will be approximately 1 hour long. Please visit http://www.chessat3.com/ for more information.
