A fun, write-in book packed with brain-teasing puzzles, useful facts and clever tips that show how to play chess and improve your game. Some of the puzzles are answered using chess-piece stickers and all the answers are at the back of the book. Simple puzzles show how to use the pieces, with more tricky puzzles on tactics and checkmates.
My family loves this book and has learned so much from it, so it has become the birthday gift of choice for other kids who are interested in chess. Highly recommended.
