Nathan's chess game.
Nathan, (3) loves to play chess. He asks 4 or 5 times per day if we will play with him. Usually his attention span is about 12 moves..
He understands the proper movement for each piece, He gets a little confused on pawn captures, and every once in a while I see him try to move a knight diagonally one space, but I think he is doing this intentionally, just to be a Turkey.
What I find super interesting is that he has actually discovered and taken a liking to the Dragon openings, which he discovered on his own. For an example, check out the Black position He understands opening theory quiet well... He moves the pawns that allow his pieces to be free to move. Castling is a major priority for him. Interestingly, I used to love to use those Bg7 openings when I was a kid.
He had no idea how to form any offensive attack at all, Nor does he know how to defend one. Still pretty cool for a 3 year old.
