Sone really good advice here; thank you.
Another idea I’ve had is to coach him as he plays his handicapped dad; I love that idea. I could implement some of these suggestions and ask the grandson why he’s making a certain move and suggest a different strategy. As I said before, he’s making moves just to make moves with no plan. Maybe a plan is too much to expect but I’d like him to start thinking that every move should have a purpose.
Amazon just delivered his birthday chess set. I’m excited. When I learned chess, within a week I beat my friend who taught me. I don’t expect the kid to do that.
