It's very easy to understand for visual learners. It has great graphics, is well-organized.... I could go on and on because I enjoy using it so much, but I really just want to let others know that you really can't go wrong buying this book to learn chess. It makes learning it easy and fun! I am going to pass it down to our grandchildren after my husband and I master what it has to offer us first. :) Being a sturdy, hard cover version, it will last a long time and can well handle the usual wear and tear the youngsters will give it. I'd also like to mention that it comes with a dust cover, which I never like to keep but usually do because the actual hard covers of most books are so blah. But not this one!! I was so happy to see the same beautiful graphics on the book's actual cover, and I promptly recycled the paper dust cover. Review: Not just for kids - The first impression is that this book is suited for children just learning chess. However, when you actually get into the specifics, you discover many solid, foundational ideas of the game. A thin, one-volume work could hardly be expected to be all-inclusive, but this book by (or ghostwritten for) Kasparov covers the basics and much more. There are sections on openings, tactics and combinations, and endgames, along with several drills for each. Since my childhood is long behind me, I found the format and style somewhat offputting, as it seems to be geared towards children. However, once you get past that bias, you'll find the contents actually quite useful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,364,456 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,418 in Chess (Books) #196,813 in Children's Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 288 Reviews | ## Images ![Checkmate!
