Iron sharpen iron."<br /><br /><br />Too bad majority of parents with strong chess playing children will not agree with you though u r absolutely right.<br /><br />Let me give u an advice: Start a group of new parents with children that know nothing much abt chess. Grow them and when they become national beater one-day. Educated this concept to new parents. You will see probably a 100% success rate. If u try to do it at the current crop of parents, u will be in great disappointment.Anonswriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475697711364300001noreply@blogger.com
