My First Chess Book: 35 Easy And Fun Chess-based Activities For Children Aged 7 Years + Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Chess is easy to learn, and anyone can play it. Jessica E Prescott teaches you how you can get good at it—and start winning. Improve your skills through 35 fun activities—this isn’t just a textbook about the rules of the game! Why not have a game of Pawn Football (pawns line up at their starting rank and race to the other side), or do the Queen Dance (make a checkmate using only a queen and king)? Try Scholar’s Mate—the four-move checkmate every beginner needs to know—and when you’re really good, play Bughouse, a crazy four-person game with two chess sets. All the activities have clear, colorful artworks so you can see exactly where pieces should be on the chessboard. There are also helpful hints and tips throughout, and if you’ve ever forgotten how a piece moves or need to brush up on a rule, look at the Starting Out section for a reminder.

I love this book! It's use of colors, illustrations, and caricatured chess-piece personalities make this book very inviting for children and adult readers. Reading two fun pages gets chess players one step closer to winning, and feeling like it's all about fun, rather than cut-throat competition (though maybe, with application of all these lessons, a sweet chess-kid might be cut-throat without even knowing it :). I'm not a how-to book type of reader, but the colors and gumby-like chess pieces reeled me in.
Excellent resource for teaching young kids chess. Love this book! Also arrived on time as promised.
