This is the video clip of my precious nephew Yoav learning from his Mom how to checkmate with a Queen!

He’s so cute! Good job by Sofia!
Cute! I wonder what she was saying.
That’s a great video! Since Yoav can spot a mate in one, then he is already doing better than the World Champion! (just kidding!)
A future World Champ. 🙂
i hope he becomes great like his mum and her two sisters!
from what I can hear –and remember– of Humgarian:
“Oh, check! I think I’ll move my king there. You know you should move your queen here…”
Then she really gets going and I lose the thread…
“Good and Check
and then I go out here
and look if your know a checkmate with your queen i fyou bring your queen here?
Put your queen here nd tell your mommy checkmate” 🙂
“MATE!!!”
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting to see the right amount of intuition needed to lead a child to get a thrill out of chess.
I’ll have to try that approach this evening with my child though I’ve been more adept teaching her music.
