Parents, pls ask away
What questions do you have about learning and improving in chess

Two questions for you
1. Did you teach chess to your child or did they show it to you after learning from school?
2. Can you still win against your kids?

Work on tactics puzzles. Generally in two categories
-Capturing pieces
-Checkmate
Work on many puzzles and learn to recognizing the patterns.

Also make sure your kids get better at board vision where they can avoid giving away free pieces and taking advantage of opponent’s blunders

I taught my children chess, but they haven't really taken to it yet and so I can still beat them.
