Why I think Kids Improve Faster

I think kids improve faster because ...

1) Beginning chess players can improve quite a bit with just a little study. Afterwards improvement requires more effort. Children as beginners improve easily.

2) Perhaps children's brain plasticity makes learning easier. If Chess is like language, children can learn it faster than adults.

3) Children might have less ego issues. They know they are learning and improving. Adults may reject needed help because of pride.

4) Children might have better balance between play and study. This is based on the theory that adults study chess more and children play chess more.

5) Children have more time than adults. For example I have worked every morning, afternoon, and evening this week.

I would write more but I have to get back to work.
