How to Play Chess for Kids: Simple Strategies to Win Paperback – November 12, 2019

I bought this book to review it before giving it to one of my grandchildren. I was so impressed with the teaching style, I purchased another for a 9-10 year old grandchild in Virginia today as a follow on present from the Chess set I made for her. She will need to use the chess set and the book together for a better understanding. I am 71 years old, but did not learn to play Chess until I was in the Navy aboard ships in the early 1970s. I like this book compared to over 10 other chess books I bought for my children and other older grandchildren since it will be easier for them to understand in a fun way. Apparently her school chess club will not accept her until she learns how to play.

My friend and I are in our 70s and decided to learn chess. I got this book for kids thinking it would be easy to understand. I was right. Chess has been easy to learn, and we are having lots of fun.

Lots of pictures and diagrams that go through all of the introductory steps for kids in a fun way.

This book is wonderful for basics for playing chess and then more complicated strategies. I bought it because my six-year-old grandson loves chess and I know only the basics. I am 82 years old, but with a chest set in this book, I went to town! So when my grandson came east to visit me, we had a good time playing chess.

My grade school chess club students love it!

Great book!

It’s probably a good book but I’m not smart enough to understand it. Had to get my Chess teach to help.

Grandson loved the book
