Reviews

"The whole thing packed into a short story with many pictures - definitely child-oriented! ... it seems that the pictures are deliberately left without colour, so that someone with crayons etc. can turn it into a real playbook." - Frank Grosse, schachlinks.com "I have seen countless books on chess aimed at youngsters over the years, but this is probably the nicest introduction I have ever seen, aimed at primary school children." - Alan Sutton, En Passant "Chess For Children is attractively produced and user friendly for kids. The diagrams are large and clear and there are cartoons throughout the book that reinforce the subject matter. ... It's a perfect book for younger ones to work on with their parents. Recommended." - IM John Donaldson, Gold-Medal Winning USA Team Captain "...the book is well thought-out and can be enjoyed by kids as young as 5." - GM Lubosh Kavalek, Washington Post
