RooklumeChess in childhood: take your own first step
A small plan for a first game and your next practice session
Start with one piece: find out how a rook moves and try a few moves with it. Then add a king. When the moves make sense, try a short game with all the pieces. Choose a manageable task and take a break when you feel tired.
In this library you will meet age groups such as U10 and different forms of chess: classical, rapid and blitz. Read a tournament’s full name when looking at its results. An age-group championship and the classical world championship in the open category, without an age limit, are different competitions.
Pause and think
Think: what can you already do — move a rook correctly, notice check or defend a piece? Choose one next goal and revisit it after a few games. The champions’ stories may give you an idea for your own practice.
