Write your reply.

assistant: Patrick,
It depends on how "minimal" the coaching was.  The test, I suppose, is to
put your younger brother in front of a regular set with no coaching, give
him the White pieces (easier to play than Black), and see how well he does.
  Regardless of the results, the key factor is - does he enjoy the game?
If he likes playing, get him involved in the school's chess club, if it has
one, and the local chess club, if there is one.  Let him play and enjoy his
childhood, but if he outgrows the chess clubs and still has an appetite for
more, the next step would be either chess camp or tutoring by a master.
That's all assuming he both has the desire and the talent.
Do not push him into playing or studying, however, as you will only ruin
the game for him.  Let him have fun and make the choices.
Your brother, _IF_ he continues to play at that level without any coaching,
has an excellent grasp of what a good chess position is.  His tactics,
which come with experience, are a little on the weak side and are what
leads to his downfall in each game.  Tactics would be the area of his game
that needs the most improvement.  They're still excellent for a five-year
old, again, assuming he still sees the same tactics without the coaching.
Take the training wheels off, so to speak, and let him play more games with
you, and with the computer set to a manageable level for him, something
where he can win about 1 out of 3 games, with either black or white.  Keep
adjusting the level upward as he progresses.  That's about the best way for
him to improve his tactics.

01 Dec 96 19:07, Joe Brooks wrote to Patrick Kalinauskas:
The coaching was limited to helping him use the mouse to move pieces, and
pointing out certain things like direct threats to valuable pieces like the
Queen, and telling him to remember to recapture in exchanges (otherwise I
might get stuck with a bunch of 13-move games, which is a little boring).
More subtle things, such as knight fork threats and pinning threats, were not
pointed out.
Also, CM4000 was used with the teaching mode "Legal Moves for Selected
Piece". This simply allows little 'shadow pieces' to show on legal
destinations, so that I don't end up sitting an hour while he keeps
attempting illegal moves.
We tried a regular set... he left the table and went back to the computer
room after move 8. Oddly enough, he actually seems to do worse with the White
pieces. I ask him which color he wants, then take the other for myself.
He doesn't like losing, but he seems to like the game. Sometimes I'm forced
to break off reading Echomail or playing Ultima VII to allow him to play
chess.
We used to have one in NF, but I think it bit the dust :-(
That's what I thought, because each game goes rather well until he misses a
threat, or unguards a piece, and loses. In fact, in one game, as I mentioned,
he went for quite a while without a serious error, and I almost lost because
*I* wasn't watching the board and lost a Knight (as it happened I was
concentrating on converting my Queen's Pawn into a Queen). I only won because
he later made an error and allowed the QP to reach d1, queening.
I'll not point things out in the next game he asks to play. I will probably
