Leading teacher of chess and organizer of award-winning chess website ChessKID provides the ultimate book to help your kids learn not just chess, but how to think like a future grandmaster. Too many chess books for kids just teach the technical side of chess but not the thinking skills needed to put that knowledge to best use. Through years of experience - including the teaching of grandmasters Luke McShane and Jonathan Rowson - the author provides his unique way of teaching children (6 to 9 years old). The book:
·Uses a story line to take the reader through the book
·Uses subversive humour to hold the reader's interest
·Incorporates fun facts and jokes about chess
·Includes advice for parents and teachers
·Includes links to chessKIDS academy website to enable children to practice what they have learned using video games, quizzes and chess games against computers.
.

Part 1:
