Richard also has a unique talent for assessing and understanding children, and knowing what will excite them and make them laugh. Richard is the author of the best-selling book Chess for Kids (Right Way Books) and the webmaster of the world-renowned chessKIDS academy website.
Richard believes that young kids should learn chess slowly, one piece and one concept at a time, and should not be encouraged to start too soon. After all, if you're teaching a child to read you do so one letter or sound at a time. And if you're teaching maths you start with addition before moving onto subtraction, multiplication and division, and you start with small numbers before moving onto larger numbers.
