Chess lessons can improve her play, teach her new strategies, and provide a chance to connect with other young chess enthusiasts who share her passion.

5. Puzzle or Problem-solving Games: Chess-themed puzzles, brainteasers, and problem-solving games can be a great way to challenge her strategic thinking abilities. Look for puzzle books, board games, or even digital apps that offer a wide range of chess puzzles, such as finding checkmate in a certain number of moves or solving complicated positions.

6. Chess-themed Jewelry or Accessories: To celebrate her passion for chess, consider gifting her chess-themed jewelry or accessories. You can find elegant chess-themed necklaces, bracelets, or earrings that incorporate chess pieces or chessboard patterns. These gifts will not only serve as a reminder of her love for the game but also add a chic touch to her everyday attire.
