Guys how much of a difference playing chess can make for a child, mental development-wise? My father taught me at 4 but i hated the game, he was winning all the time.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('radon', 'C')ongrats, nice one.
Is the dragon's variation back in fashion? Why didn't he go for the classical one with the queenside castling?
Did you play quick (blitz) or normal time control? In blitz dragon's is a headache for the whites.

I think he wanted to take me out of book & then just outplay me in the middle game (he was almost 300 points above me).
I'm thinking of entering the World Open this year. If my rating stays below 2000 I almost certainly will.
Re : Pretorian, I'm not sure, depends on the child. I think 4 is way too young to play against a parent, maybe against other kids. Most of the kids I see at tournaments seem mature for their ages though.

My observation is that the percentage of good chess players among those who excel academically in precise science is substantially greater than that among the general public.
Many finest chess players learned the game really early:$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')ccording to Capablanca, he learned the rules of the game at the age of four by watching his father play, pointed out an illegal move by his father, and then beat his father twice.
Some argue that when children get deeply engaged in an intellectually demanding hobby that, like chess, lacks the socializing aspect, they may develop traits of social ineptitude. This is similar to the phenomenon of video games addicts. An extreme example would be the fictional character Luzhin. The recommendation is to balance this hobby with another involving active socializing, like dancing.
Capablanca, however, apparently possessed great interpersonal skills, and even served as a diplomat at some point.
