This is the perfect introduction
to chess for children from the age of seven upwards. The book contains
30 short lessons, starting with learning about the board and the pieces,
then the moves of each piece in turn, then the vital concepts of check,
checkmate and stalemate, and finally basic strategy and thinking
skills. Quizzes and puzzles reinforce what the children learn.
The
book uses the characters of the 7-year-old twins Sam and Alice who are
always arguing and fighting. They decide to join the army where they are
told about an impending invasion of aliens from the planet Caïssa. The
outcome of the invasion will be decided by a game of living chess.
During their lessons they learn about the battlefield and the different
types of soldier and get to play the part of each in turn.
