Simple but practical for beginners
Quick read that will explain the rules in very simple terms. Book is large, with beautiful illustrations and practice examples to help solidify concepts of the game.

Title: Fantastic & Engaging Introduction to Chess for Young Kids
⭐ 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. 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!** 👍🏾🤎
