Reviews for Chess Puzzles for Kids

"""As instructive as it is enjoyable ... the many examples and exercises will sharpen the skills of players of any age"" - Grandmaster Michael Adams, Daily Telegraph ""Grandmaster Murray Chandler writes excellent books for kids who already know how to play. I like his latest work ... it expands on his two previous books How to Beat Your Dad at Chess and Chess Tactics for Kids. In all these works Chandler presents the mating and tactical patterns in such a clear and entertaining way that it is a joy to read it. And as I said before, it is not only for kids."" - Grandmaster Lubosh Kavalek, Huffington Post ""Teachers, mums and dads, children who are beginners, and beginners who don't want to stay beginners, should stop and browse here. Most of the games are recent and at the back, as if you haven't suffered enough, are thirty test positions ... an excellent Christmas present."" - James Pratt, British Chess Magazine"
