Editorial Reviews

Review

This book fills the missing link, and makes teaching of chess alive and fun. How do you put the classroom together? How is a class different from a club? How do you suspend the competitive edge for just a little while? How can I vary my techniques to meet the needs of each student? How does the seating arrangement affect learning? How can I overcome common pitfalls? I recommend this book without reservation. Vincent Klemm, USCF -- Book Review
