Reader’s Reviews:
This is certainly not a children's book—unless your child has a natural talent for chess, like Bobby Fischer or Boris Spassky. The concepts and language are pretty advanced. However, some kids do enjoy delving into more sophisticated material.
This book is incredibly valuable, offering a comprehensive guide to the 50 most famous chess openings, from the Ruy Lopez to the Sicilian Dragon, Queen's Gambit, and beyond.
Each opening is clearly explained with diagrams, making it a fantastic resource for any chess enthusiast - J Viljoen
