If you're going to play any chess, you're going to end up playing a youngster.

They're into it big these days, and there's nothing like getting a whoppin' from a nine year old!

In chess, you don't count years, you count moves. Whoever makes the second to last mistake wins.

Be prepared. Youngsters smile at you, wiggle, look around, and implement any psychological distraction they can dream up. It's all about the pleasure of beating someone bigger and older (smarter) than you.

That's what makes chess fun. It's like a tightrope walk challenge for the mind. The balanced art of calm, cool, collected thought, with pure, rational, confident moves. You have to play both.

Kids are smart... clever... and have the ability to play skillful moves with less than 10% concentration.

Don't fall victim.

Time-saving, smart ways to sharpen your game are:

Study strategy and tactics, or endgames
