hi chess can definitely be taught as my son is getting personal coaching twice a week for the past few months. They say the most important thing in chess is that the child should play maximum number of tournaments .This exposure will help him. Also if he is a beginner he should join an academy and play against children of his calibre. you could invest in 'Grand Master Electronic Chess Set' which is approximately 2100 master-strength. A book called 'your first move-chess for beginners by A P Sokolskii is highly recommended by teachers. kris
