I will soon start training two youngsters (6 and 8) who know only basic chess and hope to take them all the way to becoming strong players. I have the following schedule in mind:

1.Learn chess, John Nunn
check the basics and see if they know the basics.

2.Start work on opening, middlegame and endgame

a.Opening - build repertoire. Will use ECO with explanations and some other books on openings

b.Middlegame - Strategy
Use John Nunns Understanding Chess Middlegames
Go through Mednis Strategic Chess: Mastering the Closed Game

c.Middlegame - Tactics
Use John Nunns Learn Chess Tactics

d.Endgame
Use John Nunns Understanding Chess Endgames

3.Proceed with advanced stuff
Openings - ECO (cont')
Middlegame strategy - Euwe and Kramer The Middlegame
Middlegame tactics - Pachman's modern chess tactics
Endgame - probably John Emms books on rook endings; bishop & knight endings

I will of course go through their games with feedback and if possible relate back to things they have learned.

Any advice guys in particular of those of you who have experience with training youngsters?
