Jessica E Martin helps you improve your skills through 35 fun
activities--this isn't just a textbook about the rules! Why not have a
game of Face Off, all you need are two rooks and bishops of each color,
then battle it out to capture all of your opponent's pieces, or try
Rookie Cookie, where the rook can go as far as it wants and move in any
direction? With Create-a-Mate you will learn the vital skill of
following activity and working pieces as pairs. All the activities have
clear, easy-to-follow instructions and colorful artworks so you can see
exactly where pieces should be on the chessboard. There are also helpful
hints and tips throughout, as well as a Starting Out section if you ever
need reminding of a rule or have forgotten how a piece can move.
