In the middle of junior high he joined a group of 9th-graders who played it a little more seriously. "We entered a tournament and had a crushing defeat," he admits, "and then I started to pick up chess seriously nd bought the first of many chess books.

I probably buy more chess books than any other junior (under-21 player) in the country." Now chess has become a way of life for Schiller, who carries a folding chess board, zippercased playing pieces and basic chess books with him wherever he goes. Ile was an assistant tournament director for the U.S. Chess Championship, was captain of the Eastern High School co-championship team and has won many trophies. lie owns seven chess sets, including one huge "artistic" one. credit per term for working five days a week with his young students, starts out by introducing the pieces one at a time and letting the kids become thoroughly familiar with how each moves.

One 6-yearold has already played in an under-13-year-o1d tournament. "I give them general principles that get them going," he explains. "They use basically the same opening all the time, but they are beginning to get some attacking schemes down and occasionally get into some defensive things." Competitive Instinct Needed The youth lists intelligence and a "very competitive instinct" as major prerequisites for the game. Though an aptitude for math often is not apparent at that age, he adds that the child who plays good chess will be good in math.

(AP) Five-year-olds are perfectly capable of learning to play chess and, in fact, that is the best age to them out, says teen-age chess expert Eric Schiller, who serves as a volunteer teacher to kindergarten youngsters. "The artier they learn to play chess the more beneficial the ability will be," he says. "Chess playing helps develop more logical reasoning processes and helps them to think more clearly and evaluate decisions better." The 17-year-old senior at Schreiber High School here teaches the fundamentals of the game to kindergarteners at the Flower Hill Elementary School. Ile is a volunteer to HELP (Help Educate Little People), a program that places high school students in an assistant teacher capacity in elmentary schools. "I asked for the younger children becauss I feel they're easier to work with and there's more you can teach someone young," says Schiller.

"I've always had the idea of introducing chess to kids and felt the best place was on the kindergarten level. "I learned at that age and Bobby Fischer did and so did most of the other players I have come in contact with," he continues. "In the United States it may seem early but in the Soviet Union it's normal." Schiller, who gets a half unit 1 9 to $169 IJO Ail sizes ond shapes. Round oval, rectangular, square and custom cuts!
