Yes! Level 1- Absolute Beginners: For BRAND NEW players only; still learning the pieces and unable to checkmate. Topics can include: Piece names/movement, starting position, turn-sequence, piece values, special rules, general board competencies and checks/checkmates. Combine with the first 8 video lessons on ChessKid for optimal development and support! The average new player, age 6+, that completes 5 sessions and 8 Chesskid lessons should only have to stay in Level 1 for a single week. Age 5 depends on enthusiasm and practice. -
