When playing chess with really young people, like your children, here is something you can do to handicap yourself to get down to an even playing field so that both you and your child can play at maximum capacity. During the setup of the game, only place out your pawns and king while your child places out all the pieces. You must now play the game with only those pieces. Once your child can beat you with that setup, then you slowly add in pieces with higher values. For example, the next game you add in a knight, then the next game: a bishop, and so on; ending with the queen as the last piece. This can be a great way to keep the game challenging for you as the adult while also giving the child a fighting chance. Not to mention the satisfaction they get when you place the queen on the board because their skill now matches or exceeds that of your own.
This could be also a game for GMs on how to play chess with normal chess players.
I can use this with my mom… she has the chess skills of a 3 month old
Simple question : What about the pawn promotion part ? Do we still keep it to the original rules and allow to promote into any piece ?
But if your kid is a baby Hikaru.
Something is going to be switched
Aww thats kinda cute
I AM BETTER THAN OLDER SOME OLDER PEOPLE
I just beat them and then they cry. It is fun. Also, what is chess?
the 1st level is perfect for bongcloud practice
Plot Twist : the child was Beth Harmon
White is Checkmate in 8
My grandpa: plays with me chess normally until I was getting close to beating him. Then never accepts my challenge for 17 years now….
No cap
Kids watching this: It's big brain time!
So wholesome.
*The queen is added* "The final boss has arrived."
I am a child but if I were to play with my parents it would be more fair if I had a disadvantage
This is the first video when I see a smile on his face ^^
I guess that's one way to not hang a queen.
im a chield
I remember playing like this against my father… It felt really great forcing him to use more and more piece over time, though I never got him to add the queen (Even adding the queen and taking away a rook I couldn't win)
so basically parenting
I remember losing to my dad in a match where he didn't have the Queen. I felt so ashamed but now that I'm bigger I would love doing that with my small cousins
Accualy this form of chess is best to teach good-ish players (2000 rating and below) who think they are some big shot some humility. When you think abaut it. The best of the best GMs have 2800-ish ratings, the worst players in the world have it close to 1000…so "big shot 1800 rating" player, like myself is closer to the worsr players than the best ones…but we still think we are great, cuz we can crush most people while drunk and blindfolded…and yea sure we can, but for the top we are NOTHING
When I was little my grandad had all his pieces and I still beat him
I still will put the kids in the basements.
The thing is, I’m the child and I had to do this with my dad 😂
I wanna play this with my mom you know to give her a chance of winning
Everyone gangsta until their child is a child prodigy.
no teach me how to play chinese chess with my 1yr older cousin i am 10 he is 11 and always beat me in chinese chess but he is not good in chess
i dont need this because i… never won a game of chess
Omg this is so brilliant
My dad started with normal chess and it made it harder for me but much more satisfaction at whenever I’m close
Seems more logical to just use all the pieces.
bongcloud moment
"Good job kid. Now the real game starts."
I am better than my parents LOL
My kid when I place my queen down:
Why do I hear boss music
this a great video
i love the ideas involved
but its just so hilarious to hear "giving your child a fighting chance"
I won't let anyone defeat me at chess
listen. i beat my mom. i also play normal chess with my mom and i keep winning.
It’s nice how he has a warming smile on his face sometimes
0:27 The Bongcloud Opening
BONGCLOUD LOL
Nah, ill switch it around, he will learn it the hard way
Is En Passant still allowed?
How nurses play chess with their children:
Every piece is a queen
yup, they're going to play 10 thousand games to reach my level
Why are there so many kids in the comment sections who did this with their parents? I mean with video games I can see why it would be the case but Chess is an old game so the parents should of had enough time to actually be good at the game.
This is werid
i did this with my middle brother and beated him with only a few pieces my mom said if my middle brother wins he gets 400 or more pesos i think? which 400 pesos is 7 usd and i won and my middle brother will never play chess again (also im the youngest brother)
Easier for you kid:
You have 4 pawns, leave a space between each pawns.
Slowly add each pawns however you like
Then add pieces in this order: knight, bishop, rook, queen
"I bweat you daddy!"
"Nice now call me dad"
"Wat"
