Picked up & explained couple of strategies. Broadens thinking a bit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for first timers *by S***A on 29 January 2026* Good book for very basic learning. It has introduction to each pawn . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good first book for chess *by M***S on 21 July 2021* Good handy book for teaching fundamentals. Content is very focused and no material puzzles or exercises. A good first book, but not useful if you already know chess and key basics. Not necessarily engaging for really young kids, but good for 8+. Quality of book and pages itself is very good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Chess for Kids - How to Beat Your Dad at Chess (Chess for Kids) - Magnetic Wooden Chess Set for Adults Kids 15'' Chess Board with Handmade Pieces, Folding Portable Travel Unique Chess Sets Game for Tournament Professional Beginner --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/64780176-chess-for-kids](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/64780176-chess-for-kids) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
