Chess is the game of kings, and in this book you will learn how to play from the king of chess, Anatoly Karpov, who won the world chess championship many times.
You will read about the nature and behaviour of the pieces. You will learn to attack energetically and defend calmly. You will discover a number of tricks and traps that you can use to trip up unwary opponents and, just as importantly, which you will learn how to avoid falling for yourself.
Having completed your journey through this book with the help of one of chess's all-time greats, you will be ready for your first chess battle – against Mum or Dad, against a friend or a computer, on the Internet or at a tournament.
This book will enable your child to master the rules of the game in a relaxed manner and will help him or her to conquer new heights not only in chess, but in life, too. This is because chess develops patience, logical thinking and memory, and teaches us how to use our time rationally.
Teachers, coaches, and parents with no more than a smattering of chess preparation can use this book to teach children the basics of this complex game.
