Chess for Kids / Michael Basman

A children's step-by-step visual guide to the rules, skills and strategies of chess—by International Master and renowned chess tutor Michael Basman.

From the history of chess and the aim of the game to essential tactics and taking it even farther in clubs, tournaments, and championships, Chess for Kids covers it all. Before explaining techniques, the book details each piece—pawns, bishops, the king, and more—to ensure kids have a comprehensive understanding before they begin to play. Chess board graphics illustrate different scenarios and support the text explanations so readers can visualize different moves and their potential outcomes as they go.

Let Chess for Kids and International Master Michael Basman teach you how to play chess and turn you into a champion chess player.
