It has really helped us! It helps them receive the re-do and it helps me still play for the win since I know they have so many re-dos.
Side note, we started with the game “No Stress Chess” and it was absolutely a game changer. My four year old is currently playing that one with me and slowly learning what all the pieces do!
I love this. The redo rule feels like the heart of parenting. Not about escaping mistakes, but learning from them. I keep wishing I could call for my own redo before I say something I regret. Posts like this remind me to slow down and try again with love.
I love that and completely agree. I’ve wanted my own redo plenty of times. The trick (for me, at least) is realizing that slowing down is the redo. That pause before the next move might be the most powerful lesson about the rule itself.
You’re right, slowing down is the redo. My boy is only three, so most days feel like speed chess with missing pieces and no clear strategy. But even on the messy days, that little pause before reacting usually changes the whole tone of our home. It feels small in the moment, but I think that’s where the real learning happens for both of us.
I absolutely want to teach my kids to play chess, I dig the redo rule.
