Reviews:
An excellent book for any child beginning to play chess. It's easy to read and filled with illustrations. My 6-year-old grandson, who loves chess, found it incredibly helpful - B. Stoll.
We bought this book for one of the children we care for, who has developed a keen interest in chess. We believed it would be beneficial, and he returned to tell us it was fantastic. He finds it easy to understand and has gained a lot from it. Additionally, it's been helpful for his parents, who can now play along with him. Overall, they have all found the book very useful - S.White.
