Important

 

Parents should keep their young kids off chess computer programs. There are many of them on the market, many are unfortunately used in schools to replace teachers’ interaction. While it may benefit young students at early age it creates bad habits that very hard to change later on.

Parents and coaches need to spend their time with the child not to pass the task of teaching to the computer.
