With this entertaining book, children will love learning the basic moves of chess - the most popular and challenging of all strategy games. All chess rules are explained clearly, step by step, without any prior knowledge being required. The lessons are accompanied by imaginative stories told to Ben by his little crocodile Kristin, who has proclaimed herself the great crocodile of chess.

Chess is considered a useful tool for developing children's creative thinking in many countries. Although chess can be considered a rather complex and mysterious game, the rules themselves are very simple. It doesn't take long to learn how the pieces move, and children as young as five can have fun with exciting games. They will also get great pleasure from outsmarting their friends and relatives!

Murray Chandler earned the title of chess grandmaster by winning tournaments in New York and Amsterdam. He played chess professionally for 28 years and took part in over 150 tournaments in 32 different countries. His previous books include the highly popular book Winning Chess.
