Review Detail

THE KIDS' BOOK OF CHESS AND STARTER KIT is a delightful boxed set that introduces chess and allows children to begin playing. The book is fully illustrated with lots of information and details about play, and it comes with an illustrated chessboard and cardboard pieces for beginners.

What I loved: This is such a fantastic way to introduce chess and its complicated plays. The illustrated chessboard and cardboard stand-up pieces help for children to begin to play out what they are reading and have some matches. They are easy to play with and help make the transition from page to real life. The book is very easy to read with plenty of clear illustrations in color to show what it is describing. It was very approachable, and the accompanying board and pieces allow children to test out the concepts and set up their games. The pieces are sturdy enough that they can actually be played with, and it even has a bag that they can be stored in after being set up. This is such a treasure for children who want to learn chess!

The book and set will work well for elementary school aged children or people of any age who want to learn! The writing is approachable, and the actually playable set adds to the fun of an instructional book.

Final verdict: THE KIDS' BOOK OF CHESS AND STARTER KIT is a delightful learning and playing tool for anyone who wants to learn how to play and master chess! Highly recommend for any potential chess-lovers elementary school aged and older.
