Hi Ruth
If you could generate from a child a true interest and a love for these game, is already a good sign that he could be on his way to become one of those potential prodigy. Only then full dedication by practicing, reading and playing long ours per day, couple with a good coach, will help him achieve that status.
Keep pushing that pieces.... By the way have anyone here heard of a young Pinoy chess grandmaster name Wesley So...?
