I am currently writing a capstone position paper about the optimum age for a person to start learning chess. I have come to the conclusion that the optimum age is 5-6. I need help brainstorming reasons though. So far I have: 1  Most grandmasters learn chess at this age. 2  Children's brains are like sponges at this age.
Some children would stuggle with chess when they are ten or twelve. For that matter, some adults struggle with chess. So being prepared to learn to play chess is not so much tied up in a number such as an age, as in the mental capacity to comprehend the game and the interest to learn it. At schools where I have worked chess clubs usually start for children at about second or third grade, so at about 7 or 8 years of age.
