Teaching Chess Step by Step | Book 2 Exercises | Khmelnitsky, Khodarkovsky and Zadorozny
“Teaching Chess Step by Step—Book 2” is the second book in a three-part series. It is underwritten by the Kasparov Chess Foundation and tailored for teachers with limited or no experience with chess.
The lessons will guide a group of beginning students from the rudiments of chess rules to the competence to play a full game.
The series Teaching Chess, Step by Step consists of 3 volumes:
- Teacher's Manual
- Exercises
- Activities
Together they give you the most thorough and complete curriculum for teaching chess.
“Teaching Chess Step by Step—Book 2” – content overview:
- Thematic Exercises: The book contains exercises corresponding to specific themes introduced in the Teacher’s Manual, allowing students to apply and practice newly acquired concepts.
- Progressive Difficulty: Exercises are organized to gradually increase in complexity, facilitating continuous development of students' skills.
- Minimal Explanation Required: Designed for beginners, the exercises require minimal prior explanation, enabling students to engage with the material independently or with minimal guidance.
- Flexible Use: Educators can integrate these exercises into classroom instruction or assign them as homework, adapting to various teaching strategies and learning environments.
*The series is designed for K-12 beginners.
This series of books is the fruit of the combined experience of a writer and an editor from the fields of education and chess. I believe that by exposing children to the game of chess through a system offered in this manual, we create a wonderful opportunity to provide new stimuli to children studying the program. This will help them develop positive thinking, support their essential studies, and train them in desired patterns of behaviour for a constructive society - Garry Kasparov, 13th World Champion, Chairman, Kasparov Chess Foundation.
