Customer Reviews

Great instruction and practice!

Winning Chess Puzzles for Kids presents instruction about chess tactics in a brief, logical, straightforward, and comprehensible format. The thousands of puzzles range from very easy to somewhat difficult. I am rated in the 1400s and found a few of the puzzles quite difficult. These puzzles are great practice for beginners and novices. Answers are available in the back of the book. Working from the front of the book to the back, you encounter instruction and examples of new tactics, followed by puzzles on that tactic. Continuing, you come to puzzles on previously learned and practiced tactics (review). The average difficulty of the puzzles seems to increase as you go through the book. My students, largely through use of this book, became pretty good tactical players. I highly recommend Winning Chess Puzzles for Kids.

Binding Problem

Hi there, I work for the Chess'n Math Association, the company that published this book. We did have a batch of these books which were poorly bound. Anyone who sends us their cover from this book, will receive a brand new book at no charge. Send your cover to: Chess'n Math, 116 West Service Road #133 Champlain NY 12919. We apologize for the inconvenience. Sincerely, Larry Bevand

Pages Falling Out

My kids like the book. My 12 year old has about an 800 rating and thinks its a little too easy but he's not far into the book yet. My 8 year old - not rated - thinks its a challenge. Problem with the binding on the copy we received and many pages coming out.
