Not really sure but my daughter was 3 when we introduced her to chess - my husband and older daughter would play and she always felt left out so we showed her the pieces and explained what they were and where they could move. At five she started chess club at school. She enjoys playing it now aged 10. I on the other hand have been shown how to play numerous times in my life but could never understand it!

Make sure the child does not put things in his mouth before you introduce them to a game such as chess. I personally learned how to play checkers before I tried chess around the age of 7. Chess is much harder to learn.

My dad introduced me chess when I was 4. I kept on practicing until now (i'm 11 years old). I'm now the chess master.

Before they see a Games Console, I guess depending on their intelligence 5 or 6 years old...

When your child is ready for it. If he shows interest in it at an early age encourage it.

You should teach them when they are smart enough to learn... they also have to like the game because you dont want to force your child in doin things they dont want to do
