Chess for Children

by: Murray Chandler, Helen Milligan
I taught chess to my nine year old granddaughter with this book. She was interested and found it easy to follow. After a few hours of theory and practice, we were playing chess. It is an excellent tool to teach children the basic game and beginners should keep it as reference.

Chess Strategy

by: Edward Lasker
As was noted in another review, this was not formatted for the Kindle. It's impossible to read the chess diagrams. However, you can get this ebook for free from Project Gutenberg as a .txt file. And you can read it on your PC (but not with the Kindle PC software). All the chess diagrams line up perfectly.

I had to give this title 1 star because it is unreadable on the Kindle. And if you can't read a book, really there is no other rating to give it.

Studying Chess Made Easy

by: Andrew Soltis
I received my copy of "Studying Chess Made Easy" just a couple of days ago. I already own several books by Andrew Soltis.

"The Inner Game of Chess"
"The Art of Defense in Chess"
"Pawn Structure Chess"
"The Wisest Things Ever Said About Chess"

I have thoroughly enjoyed "Studying Chess Made Easy." Of the three dozen or so chess books I've already purchased this year, this is easily the best chess book of the year for me.

I am not a rated player.
