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.

How to Beat Your Dad at Chess (Gambit chess)

by: Murray Chandler
This book was purchased for a beginner six-year-old who wanted to "beat his dad at chess," but was inappropriate for a very young beginner. Very little introduction, description of the rules of the game, or descriptions of basic piece movement. Book pretty much leapt into diagrams of mid-game board setups and specific combinations of moves to attack or respond as the board dictates.

Not recommended for a young beginner. Working knowledge of the game and experience necessary to make use of this book.

The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance

by: Josh Waitzkin
I really enjoyed this book by Josh. It takes the reader step by step towards mastery of one's chosen field, be it art. It is well written, as well. I think the best part for me is on how to use adversity to your advantage. He is into fight and not flight, usually, but it is fight with insight and not blind rage. There are the 4 Fs of life: fight or flight, feed and .....O foolery, have focus, and be my friend. Lucky, John Cutler Anderson, still on the road, make it a blue road. OK - read Josh's book!
