Featured Book: Beat That Kid in Chess - For the Early Beginner to Win
Written especially for the raw beginner, the
chess player who knows the rules of the game
but not much about how to win, Beat That Kid
in Chess is ideal for the novice. It uses the new
teaching method for the royal game: nearly-
identical positions (NIP), to help the beginner
see the tactics in a natural way.
This could be the perfect gift for the person
who knows how to move the pieces but not
much else about winning a chess game; or
this book may be perfect for you.
From numerous studies,
chess playing has been
found to be beneficial
for children in school
Regardless of your age, or the age of your opponent, this chess book may be
the best one to help you win at the royal game. Winning is emphasized here.
From the Amazon page for Beat That Kid in Chess:
“This chess book is balanced in depth and breadth, with lessons on how to
checkmate your opponent, gain a material advantage over another beginner,
promote a pawn to a queen, pin one of your opponent's pieces, make a knight
fork, avoid becoming checkmated, and much more. It emphasizes what a
beginner most needs to know and understand, as soon as possible.”
Perhaps never before has a chess book been written (for the beginner) with
such concentration on preparing the novice player to win a chess game, for
this may be the first publication of its kind to use the new teaching method
of nearly-identical positions in tactical training.
