But if u are looking for structured lessons, then Singapore Chess Federation (check their website). They also train the national squad.[/quote]

Can try chess.com web or app. Schools used it for their students learning chess too.

I play both. Weiqi is easier to learn the rules, like around 10 minutes vs Chess’ 20 min. But once you go deeper, chess is pretty much one dimensional: capture and check mate, whereas weiqi approach to winning the game can get intelligent. For me playing chess is more tiring than playing weiqi. Chess is more direct and “confrontational” (capturing the king is all that matter) whereas weiqi play is both “fight” and “diplomacy” (have to learn to give up some territory to opponent in order to win overall). Weiqi is akin to Taiji and chess to racket games.

As others have shared , Bishan CC houses both chess and weiqi academy and they conduct adult classes. If you are willing, they offer one to one coaching too.

Can come and join us for boardgames....there are many types of games, social deduction games, words games, card games and strategy games, etc......for Poker, International Bridge is also good. Sometimes, I also cannot believe I as an old auntie can win over those young undergraduates. [/quote]

It’s a game where u have to be inherently interested. Once the interest is there, u will be motivated to pay attention. We tried to play with many friends/relatives (and their kids). It’s more common to see loss of interest halfway into the game & we switch to something else like Uno or other board game.[/quote]
