does it tell what moves to make like a teacher

It tells you HOW the moves work, but it is not an electronic teacher. The directions DO give info for more advanced play including strategy. But I am finding students with and without special needs pick up strategy as they go. Also, the leveled directions that are an option between going to regular chess help structure critical thinking and strategy skills.

My 5yo already plays. Does this teach more advanced moves or just the basics?

It teaches only the basics regarding how the pieces move. You can play a regular game of chess or use the cards provided in which case the cards will tell you what to move, there is no strategy involved when using the cards.

In the beginning we have to discard a number of cards until we draw enough pawn cards, since those are the first to move.. Is this correct?

My students recently pointed out my shortcut was partially wrong. Because we typically have half an hour, maybe 40 minutes to play, I have had each player make their 1st move with a pawn, choosing 1 or 2 spaces. But as they played more THEY figured out the knight can also be a first move. So proud of them! So we adapt it that way, 1st move is pawn or knight, then we select cards. It is also great at being able to balance out different skill levels. A newer or less skilled player doesn't get crushed quickly by the strategy skills of their opponent. So it is a great way for kids to teach other kids how to play.

Is this game something a 6 or 8 yr. old could play?

My (very intelligent and motivated) 5 year old daughter is loving playing it. My less interested 6 year old daughter needs the occasional clarification from Dad as to how exactly the pieces move but she still seemed to enjoy herself. My 3 year old son got a real kick out of playing with me, obviously with lots of help from me, but still making the decisions on his own as to where to move each piece. This set really takes all the hurdles out of the equation.
