A parent asked, which is easier for children to get started, chess, go, chess or checkers?
I think all four kinds of chess can develop children's intelligence, depending on whether children are interested. Based on the analysis of the difficulty of entry of four kinds of chess, I personally think that international checkers is the easiest. The success of the first World Intellectual Games in 2008 set off a nationwide jumping craze in China. In fact, in China, like chess in China, Guotiao can be seen everywhere in the streets. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 40 million fans worldwide. It is easy to learn and interesting. 4, 5-year-old children can get started in a relatively short time, and the whole process is constantly jumping around to eat chess pieces. No matter whether you win or lose, as long as you can eat a lot of pieces, your child will always have a sense of accomplishment. It takes only a few minutes for adults to learn the rules, but it is difficult to master international checkers and the changes are quite complicated. A country like world champion Lasker praised checkers like this: "Checkers is the mother of chess and a very loyal mother. There are many arms of chess and national elephant, and it will take some time for children to know them and how to eat them, but there are few arms of national dance (soldier king). We are familiar with chess, so we won't say much. The national image is a combination of chess and national dance, and the changes are more complicated. Not to mention Go. If we introduce it briefly, what we see in the street is not playing chess. It is precisely because the introductory period is too long that most people can't play Go. Many chess training institutions are trying to improve the speed of children's entry into Go. Four kinds of chess can develop children's computing ability, memory, logical thinking ability and judgment to varying degrees. More than a year's experience in teaching international checkers tells me that international checkers is of great help to develop children's three-dimensional thinking and spatial imagination, and the line of eating chess has a subtle effect on children's learning geometry in the future.
