I don't even think a kid could have alzheimers. You probably SHOULD correct him! NOBODY wants alzheimers, but others would probably either figure it was a malapropism or that somebody in your family or his has some real problems. Of course, he may have simply slipped up, and a gentle correction may give him the opportunity to correct the mistake, etc... If your son loves chess matches, it is GREAT that he even seriously offered.
