Finally! Someone I might be able to beat playing chess. Oh wait, this was four years ago. No chance now.

I know what most of u are thinking that hes not very good but give him credit at least he knows how all the pieces move

[@pashapasovski5860]

Grant Cullen are for real, kid can play,I could play at 3 years old,but not like this kid!

[@nimmacity8615]

Grant Cullen yeah thats literally the only thing

[@terrancerichardson2598]

Grant Cullen agreed

[@jasonmackenzie1844]

Future Trance Honestly, that's pretty impressive in and of itself! YOU try sitting a 3-year-old child down and teaching them how to play chess!

[@vidyas.4531]

Grant Cullen He's three!! By the time he grows up he'll be better than any of the boogers who think he's bad.

[@TheFieldman1]

I think all children should learn how to play chess.

[@chikakumask4693]

why

[@simonpankvelashvili7620]

Absolutely agree. The World would have been such a better place to live...

[@wonderkid2425]

Такой молодец

[@CoolRain-rn9uk]

Yes I agree

[@Science-ev1he]

Why though?

[@Techn0Dazza]

The boy did not blunder his queen, he saced it.

[@winstonsmithamm]

Come on kid, I knew not to move my queen so much in the opening when i was 2.

[@toastcheese890]

How to play: Pawns: Pawns can only move in a straight line but capturing other pawns,bishops,queens,etc they capture in a straight diangle line. Pawns may move 2 spaces in a straight line when a pawn makes their first move. But pawns may not move backwards they have to keep going forward Knights: Knights, Only Move 3 spaces each turn in an L like shape. The knights may move backwards and the knights and only the knights may jump over your their own pawns. Bishop: Bishop, May only move in an straight diangle line the bishop may move as many squares as they want (diangle) as long their are no pawns of their own blocking them but your turn ends when you either capture one of the opponents pawn/etc or you can't move any further the bishop may move backwards in a straight diangle line. Rooks: Rookies May Only move in a straight line and capture other Opponents pawns in a straight line the rookie can move as many squares as they want in a straight line the rookie may move backward. King: The king is a powerful unit because the if your king gets captured you lose the purpose is to capture the other opponents king. If your king gets checked (trapped) than you have to move to a safer spot where the pawn cannot get you otherwise you get checkmated. The king can move in a straight and diangle line but the king may only move 1 square each turn. The king may move backwards. Queen: The Queen is a very powerful unit she can move in a straight or diangle line as many squares if your queen gets captured then you have a disadvantage if your queen does get captured you either try to capture your opponents queen or check their king.

[@palmarius104]

Well he knows how to move the pieces. I learnt to play when I was about 4 myself and I was never taught to castle back then. He certainly has a lot of potential.

[@abhishekganiger94]

Its amazing.. He has all chances of becoming a future GM

[@robbiehart10]

6 years old should learn this

[@russellschaeffler]

that is wonderful, my son didn't start until 4 and half! Always keep it fun and hopefully he will continue for the rest of his life.

[@destinhudson174]

this is exactly how to make a chess prodigy, start young when the boy is learning and his mind expanding and learning, wonder what he can do now

[@sekainiheiwa3650]

Smart father and son.

[@joselitomarcos1367]

By pointing out that the Black queen can be captured after the kid castled, the man made it worse for the kid when he was allowed to retract his move and move the queen only to be captured for nothing.

[@kleenklyine]

That's why the Russians are always the best at chess, they play chess before they can walk.

[@agarion101]

Russians aren't the best lol, they were 50 years ago when Kasporov was known as "good"

[@LJKayser]

Russians are the best at chess these days sure none of them are current world champions, but they have the most experienced playing chess in there culture chess is basic sense and nature to the Russians

I like the dad's defence pretty good The son is good for a rookie or known as a starter he is really good at memmorizing how the pieces move So Cheers for both of these good players From: A master in school srsly though i defeated a 57 year old man

[@somecoder6985]

Finally someone I can beat in chess oh this was 7 years ago

[@RobNoonanic]

Beautiful to see :)

[@VaidyasChessHubAmeya]

So sweet Alex! Well done! (for me the best part was that the child remained at the board for the entire twelve minutes!) Alex's dad, make sure you incorporate the following things in his game, the next time- 1. During castling ALWAYS touch the King first; then the rook. 2. The clock should be pressed with the same hand that is used to move the pieces. 3. The clock is placed to the right hand side of the black player (in this game Alex) All the best!

[@Ort618]

Thank you! very good notes!

[@Sillytake1705]

It is black's choice which side the clock goes on, so it is generally to the right of black, but it can be to black's left.

[@alexcooperspinningdisk]

I love how he slaps the clock

[@jasonpatrickries]

Bravo little man! Good work training this youngster. The skills he is building will translate into success in every area. I was teaching my 2 year old chess for a while. We got to about this same point then he wanted to start learning how to solve cubes. I am going to get him back to chess starting next week because he isn't ready for the Rubik's just yet.

[@delfinmontoya4277]

now you are 8, keep playing and best regards

[@ab_lk]

he's breaking the clock

[@tuks2179]

Guys how to start with 3-4 year olds?

[@kvnboudreaux]

he just said 'upside down' in english, wth?

[@JonathanCr0ss]

He says a lot of little things in english :-)

[@1033141]

very good dad

[@User42315]

That is really amazing! Not even 4 years old and he know how the pieces move, knows how to castle, knows how to capture pieces, etc. We started teaching my son a few months ago after he turned 4 and he really loves the game. He loves playing on chesskid.com. Maybe your son would like to play on that site too?

[@alfvie1]

That's awesome just to maintain the level of having fun in the game since he is still in a cognitive level called pre-operational stage. If a child is still at this stage, handling competition can be tough. He can not be able to handle defeat so be a little bit extra careful. Well done for this achievement as a parent. Great job!

[@commonNigerian]

Awesome kid!

[@pholanhim6847]

I know how to play chess. I’m not one of the “Oldie” kids yet. I’m one year behind of being one. Hope kids younger than me learn chess and do some powerful moves. Kids, I believe in you!

[@Ort618]

Thank you, Davin. Actually, there is no any magic here and I am confident that almost any kid can do this. I am planning to add more videos where I will try to share my experience and demonstrate how to teach kids to play chess.

Yes, he is bilingual.

hi sir which country are you from?? how do you thought your son about chess at early age? can you tell me the tips to thought to the learners. hoping for ur reply sir

[@karanchopra9426]

at 0:55 White did castling the wrong way by moving the rook first

[@thedailyweatherforecast7170]

Too nitpicky.

[@zoom2deepak]

Its not nitpicky.. its game over.. white lost at that moment because that's an illegal move. The title should be 3 year old beats father in 5 moves. lol..

[@zoom2deepak]

And you see the baby learning from the father and doing the same thing (wrong) .. i.e moving the rook first.

[@zamfent]

Who cares? "Under current US Chess Federation rules, a player who intends to castle and touches the rook first would suffer no penalty, and would be permitted to perform castling, provided castling is legal in the position." --en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castling. And anyway, that level of nitpickiness has no place when teaching a three-year-old, because it has nothing to do with strategy. You can learn that rule when you go play in tournaments.

[@zoom2deepak]

+ZamFent, I actually agree. I concede.

[@jakedarmanin680]

This kid will definitely become a GM!

[@alucardml2641]

Why you did not castling in Queen side

[@NewCalculus]

I wish I had a cute son like that. It's really funny how he slams the clock to minimise time on his moves. Obviously in his case he doesn't care too much about the moves, but more about stopping his clock. Ha, ha! Very, nice. I am sure Alex will be a grandmaster some day.

WHERES THE FUCKING LENON ROLLED LINK

[@StopFear]

Reminds me how my dad played chess with me in Ukraine. Can you tell me what region of Russia or Europe you are from? Some words you use are in form I've not heard before. Например вы произносите "собью ферзю". У всегда слышал "собью ферзя" потому что Оли ферзь это фигура мужского рода.

[@Ort618]

Я всегда считал, что ферзь это синоним королевы, т.е. это женский род. Но погуглил сейчас и нашел, что его можно считать и как советник короля, т.е. мужской род. Что касается произношения, то это скорее просто привычка. Я и сам не знаю как правильно. Надо понимать, что я совсем не шахматист, а учил сына шахматам с целью развития у него логики, понимания стратегии. В этом была моя цель. Сейчас он меня обыгрывает в игры типа пентаго (pentago), но начало было положено именно при обучении шахматам. Я родом из калужской области.

[@StopFear]

+Ort618 Спасибо за ответ. Понятно. Я играл в пентаго. Очень хорошая игра. Просто Го тоже.

[@stevieg7472]

I like how he slams the clock, so cute :v

[@pantsik2]

In two years he will be playing better than his father.

[@ireflex9528]

Not really

[@vincemarenger7122]

because he would loose his queen. The father gave him a chance

[@YashCodesX]

Hey, he must be 6 and half now! How is he doing now?

[@juancabanas575]

Dude, don't you know it? He is Magnus Carlsen! lol

[@AnSoNeves]

Five months? It's a very short time to teach this, isn't it? Some times it's harder to teach simpler things to children. Do you use any method? How many time you spend teaching him in a week? How did you do for he keeping the attention? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm really interested in it. Congratulations for you and for your smart son!

[@Ort618]

It has been a while ... and yes I used some method, however this method in book was written in Russian language, here is the one: www.e-reading.club/bookreader.php/92134/Suhin_-_Shahmaty_dlya_samyh_malen%27kih.html The main idea that at begging you don't use 8x8 fields, but 4x4. You can find picures there. We played 15-20 minutes daily, and I it was not exactly a chess, but chess games. For example, my son used to setup all figures on board and then close his eyes, and I would mess them up in 30 seconds or so, and then he need to restore an order. Then we switch. So, basically, all kind of games you would be able to came up. I have another video where he plays Chess Solitaire. I hope this would give you an idea.
