![]() As such, for us, the aesthetic and build quality don’t matter as much because we use his regulation board when we play against him. ![]() It’ll give him a way to play OTB when we can’t play with him. Our goal is for him to improve his OTB vision, as his OTB rating is significantly lower than online. You can then use the board to play with him as normal.ģ) What are you hoping to get out of using the board?įor example: We’re likely getting one for our son for his birthday in March. I think you need to ask yourself a few questions:ġ) Will he be using the board to play OTB unsupervised? If so, will he understand how to do it and physically be able to do it?Ģ) If you’re going to use it with him, perhaps it’s better to get a nicer (labeled) board and help him move the pieces of a game he’s playing (NB: chesskids max time is 15 mins, whereas you can go higher, which allows more time to put the game on a board). It starts easy with pins, forks and skewers, but gets harder as it moves on to x-rays, decoys, overloaded pieces etc before finishing up with checkmate patterns.Ĥ) If you want him to play tournaments or if he wants to play tournaments, it might be a good idea to get a regulation set to get him used to the size and aesthetic of it.Ī lot of people here will dissuade you from a chess computer because as an adult, it’s easier to just play out a game on and move the pieces to play the game. I recommend Peter Giannatos’s Everyone’s First Chess Workbook. The Pro is labeled.Ģ) Chesskids is an awesome resource and significantly better for this age group than or lichess (we use the latter two to supplement chesskids).ģ) A good workbook is good to have. I know that many sites like Lichess, have courses and he can play with others but I also want a nice board too for OTB games with friends and family.Ĭhecking your post history, I also have a 5 yr old chess player! He’s been at it a few months now, so from our experience:ġ) The board you linked is unlabeled, which can be frustrating for a kid who doesn’t have strongly developed board vision. Is the The King Performance model as rich in learning features as the cheaper model or it is for the stronger player. Millennium Chess Computer - The King Performanceĭoes anyone have an experience using this computer as a learning tool or have any recommendations for a computer for a bright player to start with? I know Millenium also have a Chess Genius PRO model which is more beginner focused but I don't like the look of it and read many comments about it's build quality. I'd like to buy a chess computer for him to use to as a learning tool and came across Millennium chess computers which look excellent but I have no experience using them. ![]() I have a son who has started playing chess and is picking it up very quickly.
