RE: Chess and the Art of Distraction!

in Liketu7 days ago

I need a chess coach around here that I can learn from! My oldest loves chess but isn't very good so I can beat him even though I also am not very good. My youngest (only 8) loves shogi and is taught everyday by a teacher at his after school daycare, but he is somehow able to bring that skill to chess and he can already challenge me. I really need to up my game to stay ahead of him.

Hi @dbooster - thanks for popping by. I'm glad to hear that your boys enjoy playing chess.

I have a chess blog that I need to do more work on, but it does have a bunch of posts to help elementary players (click the "Easy Chess Tips" option in the top menu - it even gives an example of a "distraction" tactic that I used based on the teachings of Neistadt: https://easychesstips.com/chess-tactic-training-tip-1-art-distraction
