great exercise.we also got through where does each pawn sit. We also learnt that there are 8 pawns, but only 2 horsey.and somehow got through all the counts/pieces of individual type. Turns out by now kids have definitely understood that a thing can have a specific name.and all things 'like' it are called by the same name. Individual pieces: this surprisingly wasn't as difficult. 'We settled on two players, white is mine, black is yours.' Oh boy, aren't these amazing questions to answer.how do you even wander about going through that.don't know how, but somehow we were able to move on from there. Name of the game: ok that's fairly easy.new game Chess fine.Ĭhess Board: sure particular board is required. Imagine yourself trying to explain this to a Pre Kindergarten kid.3 year old. To our mind this seems obvious.wait what we have spent 30 years and hence we already know how this pans out in real life. Where do these pieces sit on either side and on what particular blocks of the boards. individual pieces ( pawn, rook, horse, bishop, Queen, King ) Its been 2 sessions in last 2 days and ohh boy am I amazed !! Yesterday, I decided to introduce Chess to Aria as an experiment. So, in short, a lot of changes in our lives. It's our first week with just Vandita, Aria and myself at home.Yes we also purchased and moved to Ridgewood.our new home away from Newport, Jersey city. It was only last weekend that my entire family including parents + ketki's ( sister ) in law's family left us and went to their respective places. seems like a bit of far cry, pie in the sky kind of dream. First few times I just said YES to my dad and hoped to get to it some time when she has grown up a bit more ! she's what 3 right now :) yeah.? and Chess. So my dad Dr Mukund Mahajan has been persuading me to introduce playing 'Chess' to Aria( My 3 year old daughter ). Its been so long I have been waiting to get back to blog and what better reason than today.
