Chess for Kids?

cyberbian asks: "My six year old daughter has recently expressed an interest in chess. We have been playing a few games, but I fear that I'm not the best teacher for such a venerable game. Is there any software that the Slashdot community would recommend for learning the mechanics and structures of good chess?"

good suggestions all. Here's a few more

Maybe your kid could learn chess the same way he learned dodgeball: get beaten down until you realize the game is stupid and not for the weak anyway. I suggest you toss the little shit a football, or he's gonna be sucking cocks quicker than you can spit three times.

say what you mean

of course it's easier to learn. it's a game invented for slopes, by slopes. White children have no problem catching on. we're talking about White games here, unless Slashdot turned into some sort of mud board over the weekend.
