Customer Reviews of Winning Chess Puzzles for Kids--Volume 1
Jeff from Phoenix Winning Chess Puzzles for Kids--Volume 1 ReviewFull of mate in 1, find the queen fork, etc. Good for teaching the most basic of tactics. However, the material doesn't go much further than this, even toward the end. Thus, this probably won't last you long. If you have completed the book, you have no doubt wasted your time on too simple material. I think the author should have gone a bit further. However, the blue book, winning chess exercises for kids, is extraordinary and wonderful.
