I was taught chess by my mother when I was about 4. I loved it - so much that I then taught my brother when he was 3 and I was 5. We were both quite good at the game and played up to county level.
Is this disgusting too?

there are exceptions for every rule....but as a general rule in my experience kids that are highly involved at a competitive level in sports (and or high level music and such) are there most likely because the parents are overdoing it.
I have gone to see a football practice of my little cousin (he´s 5) and while I saw that my uncle only signed him up for it because he like to run around on the field and have fun there were parents there that could have been mistaken for professional coaches....barking orders onto the field like that would make their kid turn into the next Figo or something...
trust me...a lot of those kids weren´t having fun and were not there of their own free will....the look on their faces was all too obvious.

Utterly disgusting. Children should learn to play chess at the age of 1 at the very latest.
I taught my oldest to play it when he was 5. And like you he 'taught' his younger brother who was 3,5 at the time. I still remember the scene. Bubba chose white for himself, put all the pieces in the right spots and informed his brother: 'Mine are white, yours are black. Now the white pieces are the good guys and the black pieces are the bad guys...'
