A brand new edition of this international chess classic, with all-new illustrations.
Aimed at children aged 7 and up, this character-based book is a complete guide to chess for those starting out in the game. In straightforward, animated language, Jess and Jamie – two rough-and-tumble kids who are obsessed with chess – explain everything you need to know, from first sitting down at the board to sneaky tricks to help you beat your opponents.
The book explains who the pieces are and how they move (and that we''re talking about pawns, not prawns), how to reach checkmate (or, in Jess''s words, ''how to kill the king''), and the concept of the opening, middlegame and endgame. It also introduces the idea of chess etiquette – and explains why sometimes no one wins and a game ends in stalemate.
Friendlier and funnier than the average children''s chess book, The Batsford Book of Chess for Children is an essential addition to any child''s bookshelf.
Chess is experiencing a new wave of popularity in schools, and it''s educational too. Organisations like Chess in Schools are promoting it as the perfect way to develop analytical thinking skills, increase resilience, foster the competitive instinct – and provide a lot of fun along the way.
