Chess Games and matches for kids in age group 7-10 years

We are trying to put togather a group of chess players in age group of 7-10 years so that they can play with each other on internet. Presently they have to face much older players on net. When enough players got registered with us ( absolutely free ) then we will arrange matches ( and later tournaments) on some free sites at the time indicated by players.
  How will it work ?   You send the time you are going to be available to play next week or in general( Example  Mon to Friday 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.Saturday 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Sunaday 10:00am to 1:00pm) ( actual play will be limited to 1 hour a day only unless you want more. You can play just one day or every day). Now we will try to match your timings/ age with other available players. You can see these schedules on this site for next week. If for some reason you can not play send e-mail in advance so that other player do not have to wait. You can contact us on above e-mail address or using comments below it or on phone.
  We also request you to send e-mail addresses of other players so that we can request them to join it.
  When is it going to start ?  We will soon start it on trial basis. But it will start functioning on regular basis only after final exams of of most kids are over in India.
