5.0 out of 5 stars Great for both kids and adults, November 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Chess for Kids: Everything You Need to Learn & Play (Paperback)
Both my 5 year old son and I wanted to learn how to play chess. My wife bought this chess set and book combination and it has been fantastic. We have had this for about a year now and we play regularly. The book makes learning strategy and the moves of each piece easy to learn. It reads like a story book. My son was into it and now asks me if I want to play even after having it a year! The board has a cheat sheet right on it telling you how each piece can move. Personally, I would much rather learn this game at a children's level than a grand master's and would encourage any novice to pick up this package. Incidentally, the book/chess board combo says for ages 8 and up but if my 5 year old can pick this up I think your fine in going to a younger age than 8.

5.0 out of 5 stars A story-driven way to learn how to play chess, October 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Chess for Kids: Everything You Need to Learn & Play (Paperback)
The authors have created real characters out of the chess pieces. Through the characters' stories young readers learn how to play chess and build strategies to win. Chess helps improve kids' math skills so parents who want to introduce chess to their kids will benefit from the tips and hints that will make the game fun and engaging. Overall, this is a great teaching set.

[ASIN:1552860159 Chess For Kids Everything You need to Learn & Play]]I sent this to my grandaughter for Christmas. There is only a book.
No chess pieces, no game board. No carrying case. The ad let me to believe otherwise. I want my money back.
