This is a great introduction to the game of chess. It includes a bit of history, which I enjoyed, and some basic tournament rules that everyone should make a habit of using.

I enjoyed the lessons and plan on using this with my sons as they grow in their love of the game.

I read this in an electronic version and the diagrams were confusing at times. This is definitely a book that would be better to have a physical copy, looking at the diagrams on the page and being able to see a two-page spread.

Good book on a great game.

I received a review copy from Netgalley. ( )
