To be honest, let me give you some reference opinions:

1. Taking the children’s chess education in Changsha, Xiangtan, and Zhuzhou, Hunan, as an example, the currently popular It's Go, chess, and draughts. These three chess games have the largest number of children learning them. Chinese chess has a relatively narrow approach, but it has a very broad mass base and basically many people know it. So it’s easy to learn, but if you want to be good at it, you need to hire a good teacher. At present, there are too few truly professional coaches in China, and it is not easy to get guidance from chess masters, so Chinese chess is not the most popular.

2. Why are there so few children learning Chinese chess? First, because many parents know how to teach enlightenment by themselves. The second possibility is that they feel that there are too many people in the Chinese Chess Club, and it sounds like they are not as "advanced" as the three chess players. When they usually chat with others, they say that my child can also play chess and draughts, which may give them a little face.

3. The three chess I mentioned are currently in line with international standards. Although there are relatively few people in these three chess clubs, there are still some amateur players in China who are teaching and taking their children to play competitions abroad. When learning Chinese chess, there are almost no opportunities to go abroad for exchanges, because foreigners rarely play this game.

4. As far as children’s development is concerned, learning any kind of chess can actually be of great help to children. It depends on what your child is interested in. If you have a good imagination, learn Go. If you are focused, learn Chinese chess or international chess. In fact, you can also let him interact with them for a period of time to see which one he likes best, and then develop in that direction.
