Description
Award-winning author Charles Hertan knows what kids really need to know (and want to know) about getting their pawns and pieces ready for action.
Traditional chess opening books focus on the variations in different openings. Charles Hertan claims that for beginners and advanced beginners memorizing lines is not only boring but also a wasted effort.
Hertan’s approach is different.
He helps kids to develop a solid knowledge of the fundamental opening principles. What are the properties of each chess piece, and how can they be mobilized effectively to work together and get a strong position on the board?
In his trademark humorous and kidfriendly way, Hertan coaches what you should actually be trying to manage at the start of a game. Kids will love learning how to avoid The Five Most usual Opening Mistakes.
This is a fun, easy-to-use, down-to-earth and accessible chess opening primer.
Charles Hertan is a FIDE Master from Massachusetts who has been teaching kids for more than thirty years. He won the ChessCafe Book of the Year Award and authored the best-selling Power Chess for Kids books and Forcing Chess Moves – New and Extended 4th Edition: The Key to Better Calculation
