Learn how to play chess – the world’s most popular board game!

Jessica E Martin helps you improve your skills through 35 fun activities – this isn’t just a textbook about the rules! Why not have a game of Face Off, all you need are two rooks and bishops of each colour, then battle it out to capture all of your opponent’s pieces, or try Rookie Cookie, where the rook can go as far as it wants and move in any direction? With Create-a-Mate you will learn the vital skill of following activity and working pieces as pairs. All the activities have clear, easy-to-follow instructions and colourful artworks so you can see exactly where pieces should be on the chessboard. There are also helpful hints and tips throughout, as well as a Starting Out section if you ever need reminding of a rule or have forgotten how a piece can move.
