I am currently writing a capstone position paper about the optimum age for a person to start learning chess. I have come to the conclusion that the optimum age is 5-6. I need help brainstorming reasons though. So far I have: 1  Most grandmasters learn chess at this age. 2  Children's brains are like sponges at this age.
In various discussions about why chess should be considered a sport, one has argued that it is physically demanding to sit for five-hour chess contests. Sitting through an hour-long lecture class can be as well, but that doesnât make it a sport. Donât get me wrong. I have a lot of respect for those who play chess.
