My 6 year old enjoys playing chess but is not very good. I was hoping that this website and your practice items will help him learn techniques to win. Now all he is doing is capturing the opponents pieces

These moves and suggestions are a great source of info. for a medi-oker chess player like myself. I've always liked to play, but have never taken it too seriouslly. Now that I'm more into it my ever-victorious advesory, must be taken down. And thanks to your K.I.S.S. lessons; I am perplexing my opponent every time. But he is still better than me. But thank you for helping me become a better chess player sir.

I absolutely love this site. So much care and thought has gone into the content - and I have found myself rediscovering my love of chess. When I was a kid I used to play every day, and would walk along dreaming up combinations and tactics (though I never got as good as I wanted to, as after a short while I couldn't find anyone better than me to play against, so didn't get stretched enough.) When I went to University I played everyone in my college who was half way interested, and improved a bit. Then I had a baby, left Oxford, and stopped playing. Well, the baby is now eight years old, learning chess, and delighted with some of the stories you have written. He loves the idea that the pieces have "hidden shapes" - like the rooks cross. What a wonderful way you have of getting concepts through to anyone! My son has been looking at chess positions instead of playing video games, and we are both going to the local chess club tomorrow for the first time. Thank you! It is wonderful for a mum and son to have something purely intellectual to enjoy together.

Mr. Fealy, I just discovered your site, and it is wonderful! I've tried several times over the years to improve my chess game, only to be bogged down trying to understand the near-infinite openings. I've made it a resolution for the new year to get better, and came across your site. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thank you. Brock Collins -- SC (USA)
