“This one is actually more my students’ recommendation than mine. I have to admit I’ve never read this from cover to cover…but I have seen more than one kid coming to chess tournaments carrying this book everywhere they go, they absolutely love it. It’s an introduction to chess. It’s got lots of diagrams, it’s very, very visual. A bit like the first book I mentioned, Winning Chess Strategy for Kids, it covers a wide variety of topics: how to start your games, how to play in the middle, how to play at the end. I think it’s a great first or second chess book. It’s something that kids can dip into again and again, once they decide they really like chess and want to learn more.” Read more...
