Product Description
Discover the exciting game of chess!

First you'll learn about all the pieces in the game -- from the lowly pawns to the all-important king and powerful queen. Once you know how all of the pieces move, you can leap into action. The beginning of the game, the middle game, and the endgame are all illustrated with examples of good (and bad!)moves.

In these pages you'll also learn about forks, pins, skewers, castling, and more. From strategies to traps to sneaky attacks, author Conn McQuinn gives you the tools you'll need to achieve a winning game.

This kit comes with a fully illustrated book, chessboard, and all the chess pieces.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner book, but..., March 22, 2000
By A Customer
There's a lot of "how to play" and very little "how to win". My kids already know the moves; they'd like to know how to win. This book was too elementary for them. It would be a great book for the beginner, though.
