I am black and white and I can transform your child into a responsible, disciplined and wise human being. What am I?

It was time again for one of our most dreaded trips... the trip to the barbers salon!

Super 4+ still doesn't like this experience and still cries in the process but today we get there and our preferred barber and quite frankly the only person that has successfully been able to handle him so far, is busy. Let's delay the evil minute shall we. "mama, please can we play chess on your phone?" "okay" I say. And then we proceed to play... To the amazement of everyone in the room, including a friend of 007's who we met at the salon, Super 4+ goes on and on; "no mama, you can only go diagonally", "haha! I got your queen", "touché! You have to move it cos you already touched it", "now you are under check" and all the while he reminds me that he's going to beat me this time. At some point, 007's friend could not hide his shock and had to ask "does he really know what he's doing? How old is he again?" Yup! He knew exactly what he was doing.
My Super 4+ is a Chess master in the making.



He fell in love with the game after we attended his twin cousins' birthday and his goodie bag had a chess kit in it. The very next week, we were visiting our friends, STM (Senior Tiger Mom) and her son, little G (for Genius) when she mentioned something about a chess camp over the summer holidays and was wondering if Super 4+ would be interested. It was like an answer to my prayers because up until then, I was making him (and myself) miserable cos this mama didn't know how to play chess and his dad had only been able to teach him and play with him a couple of times since the day he got his new kit. Needless to say, in the weeks that followed, I had to learn to play chess (by reading and from a dear friend who happened to come visiting during my time of need) because Super 4+ needed an avenue to practice his latest hobby and test his newly acquired skills as he attended the Chess camp. He even came home to tell me about Susan (Polgar), a female Grandmaster who he had learnt about via a video he watched at the camp. This was by far one of the most exciting camps he had ever attended.

Studies have shown over the years that playing the game of Chess on a regular basis right from the childhood improves the learning, thinking, analytical power, and decision-making ability of a child. It achieves this by doing a number of things which include raising the IQ, improving concentration and memory, and increasing creativity and problem solving skills.

Now that's how CHESS can transform your child into a responsible, disciplined and wise human being. Give Expartus a call today. Midterm camp is around the corner ;-)

Any other budding Grandmasters in the house?
