I get that he’s only nine. He’s playing online against a computer. His ninth birthday is actually Sunday and I’d like to get him his first chess set. Maybe he’d be best off playing the computer opponent for a few weeks so he can gain experience. Or maybe have him watch his dad and play a game explain strategy.

Probably check out the Chess thread.
One thing I discovered early is...I suck at Chess. I'm just really bad.
