This is by far the best book I've seen to teach children chess. Like most children's books, it covers the moves of the pieces with algebraic notation.However, the guts of the book is giving a child systematic experience with the pieces. It starts with the "Pawns Game." Only the pawns are set on the board and each player plays with the goal of getting one pawn through to the last rank. This is anything but a dumb experience. Games like Knights & pawn game follow until the child is using the whole board.
Perhaps the best book ever written on learning how to play chess. The first book to introduce the now famous "Pawn Game" used in classrooms around the world. Grandmaster William Lombardy wasn't the coach of Bobby Fischer for nothing. His explanation of en-passant is better than any other explanation I've read. Beautiful photos and a brilliant premise combined with Lombardy's uncluttered writing makes for a wonderful book that I am surprised has not been reprinted regularly over the years.
Chess for Children: Step by Step is a prize-winning book that has been translated into a number of languages, and with good reason. No better book exists to teach children the game and, equally as important, to imbue them with a love of a game they will enjoy deep into old age.
Fine Book. Seller reliable.
