    Can I call it chest like in bluey?

    • [Deactivated] on 29/08/2022 - 16:31

      So that's why kids call it chest. I've been correcting them and wondering why so many of them are saying it incorrectly.

        On the flip side though, there's suddenly a lot of kids interested in chess

      What did you all think about the end of that episode, where the dad gets told off for teaching the kids chess because he wants them to be smart? “Worry about their heads later - for now just their hearts”.

      I’m conflicted but it got me in the feels. I’ve taught both my kids chess.

        100% agree. I taught my kid chess at 6yo. He started learning violin about the same time. I took a dislike to that episode for the same reason.

        Judit Polgar had three solid years of intensive chess training behind her at that age. Probably a bit excessive, but you can't argue with the outcome:-

        I don't think the message was that you can't or shouldn't teach young kids chess. My 6 year old took an interest in chess because of that episode. I think it's just that Bluey and Bingo weren't ready to show an interest and the argument put forth by that episode is that you can't force kids to do things they aren't ready for, and just because they aren't interested in chess at the moment doesn't mean they won't grow up into intelligent, adjusted etc kids.

        Someone below mentioned Judit Polger. Maybe chess and violin at a young age will turn your kid into Judit Polger. Maybe it will turn your kids into Todd Marinovich or worse. Much more likely than both, your kids will be pretty average, chess or no chess. So you can either fret about how they want to play horsey with the chest pieces, or you can chill the beans and accept that today wasn't chess day and if you try and make it chess day it's not going to go well.

        It's a tough and uncertain line between providing your kids with just enough of a push to allow them to stick with things that aren't immediately gratifying, but not pushing too hard.

        It's not a surpising conclusion though whether you agree or not. Bluey is not a show that champions a Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom approach (which is a book about how that approach didn't work for her younger daughter but most people overlook that because of the WSJ article).

    Anyone got a good suggestion for the best chess learning app on iOS?

      "Learn Chess with Dr. Wolf"

      Try Magnus Trainer on iOS. Free version does not have any ads and is pretty good in terms of lessons, challenges and UI. You can also buy a subscription for added benefits however I have been happy so far with Free version :)

      Chess.com and Lichess and the 2 main online chess platforms (both have ios apps and webpages). I haven't used the learn to play features of either. Chess.com generally has better advanced lessons, but you might need to pay for a premium account, whereas Lichess is free. Hope that helps.

        Awesome. Going to watch The Queen’s Gambit tonight to learn more!

          That isn't going to teach you much.

        • the cringe on 29/08/2022 - 15:58

          You won't learn much from watching that

          Read a book by Fischer, Kasparov etc (or Judit Polgar if it needs to be female)

          Or check out agadmator on YouTube

              @Ozjoey: I feel like most chess knowledge comes from studying past games. If you only want basics like what can move where, then you most likely won't even need a book.

              @Ozjoey: Looks like he just does recaps at the moment, there's a pretty big tournament going on at the moment with a lot of top players, so that'll be the main coverage aspect of a lot of chess channels at the moment.

              For educational content I don't think anyone has more comprehensive analysis and teaching ability than GM Daniel Naroditsky on youtube, Chessbrah has a good series on 'Chess habits' for people who want to climb past beginner rating (as well as pretty entertaining content overall), and GothamChess has some interesting videos on openings and breaks down high level games in a way which is understandable to people of all skill levels. Enjoy!

    This app is just too mediocre to be a paid apps.

  • clandestino on 29/08/2022 - 18:49

    Just installed this without reading the comments, reviews, etc.

    I have a feeling that it will only teach what pieces move to where… if so, it'll be uninstalled quite quickly.

  • Potedude on 29/08/2022 - 18:57

    Went to install it, my phone wanted to know if I wanted to enable it. Obviously installed it from.last time it was posted here - shows how much I've used it…

  • denboy on 29/08/2022 - 19:48

    is it worth the download or is it a bad teaching app

    Play store is not showing a rating for this app… Not a good sign

  • karpathian on 30/08/2022 - 23:50

    Very suspect that I installed this app today and a payment card in my Google Pay account got charged 4 times.
    Stay away from this app.

  • huuuuugo on 31/08/2022 - 18:56

    3/5 Google reviews

    I think I tried it once with ads, and it was barely usable. Not really teaching you anything and not showing how to improve.

    Dr Wolf is an amazing app for learning how to play chess, and once you are there, you can move on to watching some YouTube videos about popular openings, and play puzzles on Lichess or Chess.com
