Thanks mate. however you are meant to be over thirteen years old. Perhaps I'll find one to suit a seven year old.

Have you thought about buying him chessmaster 10th ?

It has computer opponents, and an online capability ( finding an opponent is sometimes hard though)

its kinda tough to find a site that is kid friendly at that age... Maybe just play him in RL ? or set up an account on RHP and set up low rating games ?

Set up an account on RHP??..... Have you lost it?

7 year olds can read very well, much more than most people like to assume!

I wouldn't let my Gran read half the smut in these threads - and I'm guilty of contributing to them as much as any! 😏

If you go on ICC (chessclub.com), you can download their software for free. He can play as many real-time games as he wants there for free (you set the time controls). He just won't be able to establish a rating (which probably isn't important at that age).


Just be sure to turn off in-game chat. Some people are rude, chatty, annoying, friendly. People who want to chat during timed games should be hit in the face with a hammer.
