Finally the 6yo was willing to learn first capture with me, obviously I let him double atari me a couple times, surrounded him a couple times, then arranged a ladder and he thought chasing me all the way across the board was funny as gently caress So, a success! How would I go about teaching him a small area version, what do folks use to cordon off most of the board?

Hm. I'll float the idea, he cares a lot about components so dunno if paper would excite him.

In that case you could use a regular board cordoned off with painter's tape.

poo poo, okay so instead, he just insists on playing on the whole board. Next step is a 9 stone handicap and see how easy I need to go in order to make it not a blowout.

I used painter's tape and my wife enjoyed it, or feigned doing so. Still need to test on my 5yo.

I'm prooooobably around 12k or something? ddk for sure but not a beginner. 13 might be the way to go yeah, I'll have to see. He's not great at losing, what with being six, but if it's not too far apart it should be okay. Then I guess just do that until he wins multiple games and start reducing it.
