With this charming book, children will delight in learning the basic
moves of chess – the most popular and challenging strategy game of all.
All the rules of chess are clearly explained, step by step, assuming no
prior knowledge. The lessons are reinforced by the inventive tales that
George is told by his pet alligator Kirsty, self-proclaimed Grand
Alligator of chess.

Chess is recognized in many countries as a
useful tool for developing creative thinking in children. Although chess

themselves are straightforward. It doesn’t take long to learn how the
pieces move, and even children as young as five can enjoy exciting
games. They will also thoroughly enjoy outwitting friends and relatives!
