After all they are a general in charge of 16 chess pieces, marshalling them all toward the enemy king’s defeat. Each piece has benefits and weaknesses. If you only play with a favorite piece, you will learn how limiting that piece is. Even the queen doesn’t work well by herself. She needs other pieces to really launch a successful attack. When you use pieces together, they become more powerful. In life, teamwork is essential. As a mother of three I can attest that the family doesn’t run well when there’s no Sherman Team concept. When we are all on the same page, channeling our efforts in the same direction, we can accomplish a lot! I’ve seen our chess students become more interested in team sports after they learn chess. Soccer, baseball, football all become more fun. In school there are many activities that require your child to work with other children. Whether they are part of a school play or they’re creating a science project with a class, teamwork enters in. As children grow up and enter the workforce, teamwork will become a point of survival. Those who add to the group, work well with the other members, will most likely keep their jobs and get promoted, becoming leaders in their field.
Classes have started in Pinellas County. If you would like your child to learn to play chess, please contact me immediately. If you are in the Pinellas County area, we can come to your school. If you are in a remote location, we can give you and your child online lessons. We can also coach you in the best ways to teach your child the wonders of the game. Please contact me at Laura@YourChessCoach.com with any questions. I am always happy to help! Check out our new blog: www.SayYesToChess.com Dan and Laura Sherman met through chess in 1992 as strong tournament players. They have each played hundreds of tournament games and have decades of experience under their belts. Laura was one of the top 50 women players in the US and Dan achieved “expert” skill level with United States Chess Federation. Laura and Dan embrace teaching the next generation the wonders of chess. Their 5-year-old son loves to play and their 2 year old cries “chess” every time she dumps the bag of pieces on the floor. © 2008 by Your Chess Coach.
