Chess is fun! This follow-up to the bestselling Batsford Book of Chess for Children is a lively collection of chess puzzles, games and activities, guaranteed to increase your child’s enjoyment of the game while improving their skills and deepening their understanding.
In conversational text aimed at children aged 7 and up, meet our two chess-obsessed heroes Jess and Jamie as they address the reader in a straightforward and relatable way, and are this time joined by their friends Harry and Marnie, who love chess just as much as they do!
Explore fun problems and puzzles such as the Box ‘Em In Challenge, easy chess variants such as Three Check Chess and Progressive Chess, a heap of guess-the-next-move quizzes, and revision pages to help remind children of the chess basics.
This book works well as a companion to Chess for Children but also as a standalone activity book. Whether your child is just beginning to learn chess or already gripped by the game, Chess for Children Activity Book will help you encourage their interest and make learning chess a real pleasure.
