I know this book as marketed as being for kids, but I found it really helpful as an adult as well。 I decided to read it because it was recommended by NM Dan Heisman。 The format for introducing the topic, walking through examples, then having exercises for practice I found to be really helpful。 Looking forward to reading volume 2。

Great BookThis is a great book for kids and adults looking to grow their chess skills。 The kid on the book is a bit of a jerk, but it still teaches great tricks and how to set them up。

Books written for children are often quite helpful for me, especially when I am leaning something new--like chess。 Yet, I struggled through this book。 It is quite humbling to need an even easier book。 :)
