Illustrated Chess for Children

Here's an exciting new way for children to learn how to play the action-filled game of chess – the most challenging and enduring game ever devised by man. In vivid drawings and clear simple text, Harvey Kidder introduces the pieces from pawn to king, and tells what role each one plays in the game. How to begin the game, how to move the pieces, and, most important, how to develop a winning strategy – all the basic elements are explained, not in technical language and hard-to-read diagrams but in a colorful words-and-pictures story of the dramatic medieval battlefield the chess board represents.

The book shows what fun and how easy it is to learn chess – a game you can play and enjoy all your life.
