Today in Moscow there are more than 50 officially registered chess schools and sections for children. Including two - Olympic reserve and three youth sports schools.
All this is good, however Have you already decided for yourself why your child needs to play chess? ? If not yet, just a few words:
Why does your child need chess?
Few people dispute the usefulness of chess for a child’s development. We have covered this topic more than once on the pages of our blog and will not repeat it. I'll just note a couple of points:
Chess is suitable for both physically active children and quiet ones in this regard.
- In the first case, classes will promote balance in the child’s development, since chess develops attentiveness and perseverance.
- In the second, the chess game is a reasonable alternative to physically active species sports This is also a sport that is attractive with the pleasure of victory and develops sporting qualities, useful for later life.
In addition, a passion for chess will inevitably lead to an expansion of your social circle. At the same time, during the game, a person’s personal space remains inaccessible to others.

Of course, there are other options. The list can be viewed in Moscow more 50 chess educational institutions. As you can see, there is quite a lot of choice. However...
Do not hurry...
Do not rush to send your child to the chess section. Unfortunately, not everywhere there is a division into groups based on age and level of play.
If a child practically does not know how to play, he will begin his chess life with a streak of failures and defeats. This can cause him to quickly cool down on the game.
On initial stage I recommend teaching your child to play, and so that he spent some time “tinkering” with chess under your supervision .
If you yourself are not very familiar with the game, the problem can be solved with the help of a video course.
Quite suitable, and perhaps the best option, - training in our online school. By the way, by purchasing a video course, you will receive a month of training for free.
So, there are options. One thing is clear: Chess will bring only benefit and exclusively benefit to the child .
