If you don't really understand the true meaning of chess learning, and the focus and perseverance that children need to put in, then you must be careful! If you can't stick with your child. It is best not to choose chess.
Children learn a specialty, there are no more than three situations: one is to like this project, as a lifelong hobby; the other is as a carrier, to cultivate children's sentiments, improve children's comprehensive quality. The third is to serve as a "stepping stone" and be a specialty for future studies. Parents often have these three needs intertwined when choosing.
As a chess teacher, today I have a chat with parents who have not yet started learning but want to take their children to learn chinese elephants.
Chess is a competitive art that is worth paying for!
In ancient times, chess, calligraphy and painting were considered to be the four major arts, and chess was also a sports project, so why did it fall into the category of sports? It is because playing chess is a face-to-face competition, you have to accept the interference of the other party while defeating the other party, it is not like music and painting, it is a display of self, the evaluation of others. The face-to-face competition of chess players greatly requires stronger will quality and psychological quality. (Why is chess also a sport)
Therefore, a good chess player needs to have the temperament of an artist and at the same time have the fighting spirit of an athlete. Over the years, the role of chess in the educational function has become more and more obvious, most of the children of the current generation are only children, and the pampering of children is also an unavoidable reality, and the general ability to resist setbacks is relatively poor. More and more chess parents find that chess has obvious advantages in cultivating children's comprehensive ability, which reduces the risk of physical confrontation compared with pure "physical strength" projects; compared with art projects, because it can exercise children's tenacious will quality in the face of victory and defeat for a long time.
Remember to persevere!
As chess develops in China, understanding future trends can help you choose:
In 1956, chess was listed as an official sports competition by the Chinese sports administration. This is the first milestone in the development of chess in China. The attention of the party and the state has always been a powerful driving force for the development of chess in China.
Chess is the art of thinking, the crystallization of people's understanding of science, art and competition. The versatility of chess influences people's deep understanding of it. Although chess has a history of thousands of years, the worldwide interest in the scientific research value and educational function of chess is only a matter of nearly six or seven decades. In the world, all countries have the problem of giving chess the proper social positioning. It is conceivable that in the mid-1950s, the new China, which had just been born for a short time, was waiting to be revived, and how to promote the development of chess, Go and chess was also included in the government's agenda. The three chess moves were transferred to the leadership of the Sports Committee by the Ministry of Culture, perhaps under the influence of the Soviet Union at that time, but in any case, this decision was objectively quite conducive to the development of chess. First, as a sports competition, chess has more opportunities to hold competitions, and competitions are of course very important for the development of chess. Second, as far as China's economic situation was concerned at that time, chess players were in the sports department, and their living conditions were better. Third, there are more opportunities for international exchanges. Fourth, it is less disturbed by ideological disputes. The favorable factors in these four aspects alone are enough to show that chess is included in the official sports competition, which is of great significance to the development of chess in China.
In 1975, the Chinese Chess Association officially joined the FIDE. In 1977, the Chinese team participated in the Asian Team Championship.
In 1978, he participated in the Chess Olympiad World Team Championship for the first time. This is the second milestone in the development of chess in China. It began the struggle of Chinese chess to the world. It is also from here that the world began to understand Chinese chess.
In 1986, the chess national training team was established, which was the third milestone in the development of chess in China. The chess national training team personally established by Chen Zude, chairman of the China Chess Association, has Chinese characteristics and has created very good conditions for the arrival of a take-off era for Chinese chess. The national training team is the cradle of China's training of world-class chess top talents, from which a large number of world-class high-level chess players have been trained, driving the overall level to climb to new heights. Especially in the field of women's chess, there is a world-class talent group. Foreign chess experts have lamented more than once that China's chess training environment is ideal and superior.
In 1991, Xie Jun won the Women's World Championship. This is the fourth milestone in the development of chess in China. It broke the monopoly of the Soviet Union for 41 years and Europe for 64 years on the women's world championship of chess, and Xie Jun became the 7th women's world champion in the history of chess. Since then, Chinese chess has continuously displayed the wisdom and ingenuity of the Chinese nation on the world stage (those beautiful chess queens in the history of chess).
The achievement of the world championship has greatly improved the status of chess in China and has also become an incentive to promote the unprecedented popularity of chess.
In 1998, the Chinese women's team won the Chess Olympiad World Team Championship. This is the fifth milestone in the development of chess in China. It marks the overall strength of Chinese women's chess as a world leader.
In 2000 and 2002, the Chinese women's team won the world team championship consecutively, and gloriously achieved the "triple crown". The members of this championship team are either doctoral students, master's students, or university students. A world championship team with such a degree is also rare in world sports. In recent years, chinese chess players have occupied 6 of the top 10 rankings of the world's women in the rankings published by the FIDE, and all 6 of them are highly educated: Xie Jun is studying for a doctorate in psychology at Beijing Normal University; Zhu Chen and Qin Kanying, Wang Lei and Wang Pin are pursuing master's degrees at Tsinghua University and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, respectively; Xu Yuhua is studying in the senior year of Peking University. "High chess skills, high education", which is unique in the Chinese sports world.
In the past five years since the end of 1998, FIDE has hosted a total of 8 women's world championships (3 World Team Championships, 3 World Individual Tournaments and 2 World Cups), and all 8 trophies have been taken away by Chinese chess players without exception. The world chess world recognizes that the "China phenomenon" has completely replaced the "Georgian phenomenon" of the former Soviet Union, and China has become the world's number one women's chess power. This provides the basis for practical achievements for the ideological theory of the Chinese school of chess to be promoted to the world.
If you like to choose frequently, is the following situation similar to your approach?
Often change the learning program for children, learn chess today, learn piano tomorrow, learn to draw the day after tomorrow, and learn dance the day after tomorrow? In fact, such an arrangement is very unfavorable to the growth of children, and the last one is not well learned, and the bamboo basket is empty.
What causes parents to switch learning programs? There is no reason other than the following:
1, other people's children to learn piano has been admitted to the 2nd level, we also learn piano instead.
2, in the short term, the child's chess level does not seem to have improved significantly, give him another painting.
3, English is a compulsory course in the future, we have to learn English now, there is no time for chess lessons.
4. The time of other courses has been changed, which conflicts with the time of learning chess, so we had to stop the national elephant class.
5, the family has gone to work, no one to send the children to continue to learn chess.
6, chess is also too difficult, or let the child learn something simple.
