Kids who want to join the excitement and learn winning chess, both for casual fun and for tournament play, will find this kit a great way to get started! It teaches them to recognize positions for forced checkmate. It describes algebraic notation, which lets them re-play their own games -- or learn by re-playing famous games of masters. Author and International Grandmaster Yassir Seirawan presents winning chess strategies plus instruction on how to force checkmate in 25 different situations. Here in a compact, economical package is a book of tactics and strategies, plus a miniature chess clock that teaches players to compete under time pressure -- as they will when they're ready for tournament play. The timer, especially designed for this package, is battery-operated and can be adjusted for move-making within a variety of time periods. Batteries are included.
