9 Chess lessons

Christie has been working with my five-year-old daughter, teaching her some basics on chess. She's been giving her a strong foundation while having fun together, and my daughter really looks forward to the lessons. My daughter would never sit with me for an hour to learn about chess, but happily does it with Christie. She frequently counts the number of points she has when playing with me now!
