Chess at an early age such as 8 is a good age, but many schools dont offer a chess club or chess group. This is a problem. Chess is a game of stratagie and kids need that.(more than video games!) What do you think of chess is schools?

i think 6/7 is the right time to start kids into chess. and i think that public schools will never have the resources to do this right, and volunteers and the private sector needs to step in and pick up the slack to help parents who value chess in education!
