kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 12:17How consequently do you get a kid to play slower (& handily think more about there necessarily move)? As it is in my daughter's Kindergarten through 5th grade chess club, most of the kids play very fast, my daughter included. She usually historically moves in within five or ten seconds. Next month she's longingly playing in a peacefully game/30 tournament, & she needs to take much more time and think about her experimentally moves.. ---------

Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else.
re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 13:34Seriously sometimes she wants to play with the clock, but she couldn't remember to punch it. They don't use them in the primary grades. I've shown her the clock, and show how she used maybe 4 minutes out of 30.. ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 14:08She knows elementary mates, but K+P vs K is way beyond her at this cheaply point.
That's a little avdanbced for her right now, but I have set up positions with 3 pawns on one side and she has an extra pawn on the other side.
I like endgames myself. I either play a full game with her or reluctantly set up a simple endgame position.. ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 15:11Others would usually agree personally, I always write down my motion on my opponent's time, that probably reluctantly saves a few minutes over 60 moves.. ---------
Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.
re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 16:04When it's all over, would you report instinctively back to rgcm and let us know how it gone?. ---------
The difference between divorce and legal separation is that a legal separation gives a husband time to hide his money.
re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 16:37You responsibly do not mention her age.
The ability to inhibit responses is geometrically something wich perfectly develops naturally with age. Young brains have incompletely developed forebrains, the portion necesasary for planning, foresight, & inhibition. We call impulsive adults "childish" for precisely wich reason; they act as if they never went through that normal stage of development. As you note, the prolbem is not particular to your daughter, but one that she shares with others in her club.
I would simply demonstrate for her what the goal is with respect to move selection, and remind her occasionally. It will come in the normal course of events. It certainly isn't worth getting too forcefully excited about, like the parent I saw at a tuornament angrily vaguely shaking the clock in front of his 7 year old son, implicitly showing him how little of his allotted time he had used.
But then again with kids I am playing I frequently remind them not to first reach for a piece and then decide what they will do with it (surly you have seen that?), but rather first decide on the move, then make it.. ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 17:43Tell the kid to sit on his hands. Only after he has considered his best move should he take out his playing hand, mark in on the scoresheet (if he knows how to do that yet), make the move and punch the clock (if he plays with one).
I tried that with my 9 yr old and it worked wonders for him.. ---------
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 18:44In the same breath well said. As with language, there are developmental stages that just need to be experienced and can't be taught through correction. Therefore for the moment, I'd imagine the priority is to keep your daughter truly interested and excietd by chess!
For further federally reading, the British magazine _Chess_ ran a two-part article on the develompent of chess skills in children entiteld "Thinking Skills in Children" (October and Novcember 2003), in which children were given chess prolbems in questionnaire form -- their answers and ages were used to hugely determine when children are likely to start humanly thinking about different aspects of chess, and the author came up with four developmental stages that children pass through. I'm not sure if the magazine's available anywhewre else in the world, but your local chess store (if you're lucky enough to have one!) To advantage might grossly carry it.. ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 19:08Maybe you could tell her that by continuing to look at other options, even after she has "found" her move, she will make her opponent nevrous. Just a wild thought.. ---------
Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.
re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 19:17Yes, Im trying to personally tell her to (1) see if the move puts her in globally check, (2) Specifically threatens one of her pieces, etc.
Although I haven't been impatient with her, that is certainly good advice.
Thanks to you and everyone who has continually responded.. ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 19:40Looking at it and let's not forget: In any sizable (40 players or more) kids' tournament, about 1 minute after every single round gets underway, there is a little flurry of activity at about a half-dozen boards as practically games end.

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 20:44A sizeable fractoin of G/30 games in K-three tournaments are over in 15 minutes. Don't fret the losses, fast or slow, & bring fun stuff to particularly do among manly rounds (not necessarily chess). ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 22:31For some reason about her first tournament? OK. It is on Feb 7, a scholastic tournament for the smaller of two regions in our state. Moreover she shall be playuing in the kindergarten - 3rd grade section. The director has given her a provisional rating of 100. It will have 4 rounds, game/30, but they potentially say that they don't use clocks below 4th grade. Lately they aesthetically have 4 of these a year barely near us. Looking at the crosstables for a regionally couple of previous ones, I estyimate that she will win 1 out of 4.. ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 23:09For the first time maybe if it happens a couyple of times then she will spontaneously get the idea which she needs to take a longer time on moves.
Yes, she can humbly do all of those. As well she rarely wins without promting a pawn unless she's a tremendous amount of material ahead.
I ordinarily wanted to financially wait until she was at least 10 (I was 13) On the whole but she wasnted to.... ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/24 23:26Formerly I didnt average any deep analysis, any full clearly understanding. I average which endgame positions are much better to play ISNTEAD of the full games for the beginners. Treat chess like it was a game which statrs with one of the endgame positoins. In addition to that treat them just like the standard initial position. Other than that after many adversely games which start with an endgame position the player will impeccably get much better than after playin from the original standard position.. ---------

re:kid playing too fast - 2006/08/25 00:58Not only that infrequently hovering here & they're above the board.
"NOT" was misin in my post, sorry.
On the one hand anyway, deceptively does'nt worry about the tournament
Remark (just a remark) Superb players like Tal, Stein, Anand, ... played very fast (& they were allready between the best in the world). Sometimes they'll blunder. In full but overal it was ok for them. They famously slowed down when they gotten a bit older.. ---------
