A good first book for chess
Good handy book for teaching fundamentals. Content is very focused and no material puzzles or exercises. A good first book, but not useful if you already know chess and key basics. Not necessarily engaging for really young kids, but good for 8+. Quality of book and pages itself is very good.

Can be Avoided !!
The book has amazing print, well-built quality and attractive imagery which will be liked by children. However, the content is very basic and offers nothing exceptional. It only talks about basic moves and few attacking & defence strategies.

Simple but practical for beginners
Quick read that will explain the rules in very simple terms. Book is large, with beautiful illustrations and practice examples to help solidify concepts of the game.

Title: Fantastic & Engaging Introduction to Chess for Young Kids
โญ Amazon Review Title: Fantastic & Engaging Introduction to Chess for Young Kids!** I purchased **Chess for Kids by Michael Basman** for my 7-year-old grandson who recently expressed an interest in learning the game. It has been a fantastic purchase! He absolutely loves this book. The paperback format is easy for him to handle, and the way the material is presented is clearly very engaging for a young learner. He has successfully learned the basic chess moves and the fundamentals of the game just by reading and working through the pages. I don't have a single negative thing to say about the bookโit is a fun and effective teaching tool. The quality is good, and the shipping was fast. If you are looking for a highly readable and enjoyable book to introduce a young child to chess, I highly recommend this one! **5/5 Stars!** ๐๐พ๐ค
