[QUOTE="Malika, post: 562353, member: 11227"] Well, we've played two games today (one at lunchtime, one after school) and for the second I helped him very little - just pointed out a suicidal move he was making a couple of times. I won and he just clapped - no tantrums or upset. So that was good :) Chess is too difficult a game for me not to help him a bit at this stage, otherwise I would just win very quickly every time and he'd get discouraged but I don't see it as being about winning or losing anyway. It's just an opportunity to practise some skills... eg he sometimes wants to tell me what he's planning or point out things to help me, in the chattering, hyperactive way, and I tell him it's not appropriate, he has to keep it in his head...
