We had to wait and see how our son would react to an English speaking chess teacher, but surprisingly it went quite well! I sat next to him and could translate something every now and then if necessary (and learn something myself). Prashil is a friendly teacher with a good introduction for beginners, namely the division of the chessboard into 'ranks' (rows) and 'files' (columns) and the 64 squares that they form together. Then, using a rook and king on one side and only a king on the other side, it was explained how you can use the rook and the king to limit the opponent's king to a few ranks and files (reduction or placing a fence) to finally checkmate him. My son understood it well and after the lesson we practiced it a few more times. On to the next lesson!
