Chess for Kids Review: Title: Fantastic & Engaging Introduction to Chess for Young Kids - ⭐ desertcart Review Title: Fantastic & Engaging Introduction to Chess for Young Kids!** I purchased **Chess for Kids by Michael Basman** for my 7-year-old grandson who recently expressed an interest in learning the game. It has been a fantastic purchase! He absolutely loves this book. The paperback format is easy for him to handle, and the way the material is presented is clearly very engaging for a young learner. He has successfully learned the basic chess moves and the fundamentals of the game just by reading and working through the pages. I don't have a single negative thing to say about the book—it is a fun and effective teaching tool. The quality is good, and the shipping was fast. If you are looking for a highly readable and enjoyable book to introduce a young child to chess, I highly recommend this one! **5/5 Stars!** 👍🏾🤎 Review: Focus on Critical Data - After examining several chess books "for kids", this is the cream of the crop. Terse, no cutesy comments, just good data and a simple perspective on critical issues. The "It's your move" sections are particularly valuable. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #47,864 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Children's Board Games Books #29 in Chess (Books) #157 in Children's Reference Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,464) | | Dimensions | 8.55 x 0.19 x 11 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 075661807X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0756618070 | | Item Weight | 8.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | DK Superguide | | Print length | 48 pages | | Publication date | January 23, 2006 | | Publisher | DK Children | | Reading age | 6 - 10 years, from customers | ## Images ![Chess for Kids - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810ipVfUVqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Title: Fantastic & Engaging Introduction to Chess for Young Kids *by G***A on December 1, 2025* ⭐ Amazon Review Title: Fantastic & Engaging Introduction to Chess for Young Kids!** I purchased **Chess for Kids by Michael Basman** for my 7-year-old grandson who recently expressed an interest in learning the game.
