I'm all for it being include as a recreation but if it is made into a task then all the fun is taken away. The layout of the board, the basic moves of each piece and, perhaps, some openings and obvious traps, can be taught. Once that has been covered, let the kids play during wet lunchtimes and work things out for themselves. Deeper strategy is only of interest to those who are interested in it. |
