Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting access to this wonderful book in exchange for my honest review.

As someone who has never played chess, but always wondered about it, I enjoyed this book. I learned a lot about chess. This book would definitely not be suited for very young readers though.

Winning Chess Exercises for Kids : Practice Moves, Tactics, and Strategies to Outsmart Your Opponent. This is a chess workbook primarily aimed at children from 8-12, but is a useful aid for anyone wanting to learn the game of chess. The book aims to help you learn faster, improve your ability to strategize and think about the game, in a fun and practical way. It is a good book for parents who want to brush up their own skills to help and play the game with their children. Overall a really useful resource.

I have never come across a book about this subject, and it is a good one for public libraries to have. It will appeal to our homeschoolers and conservative families who especially enjoy game time.

Because this is intended for ages 8-12, I would expect it to be more visually interesting.
I wonder how much of this is relevant for the true beginner.

I do like the question/answer format.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. I will purchase for my library.

This book is great for kids and adults too. I am parent who never played chess. But, I have a kid who wants to learn chess. This book presents the rules in a simple manner so I can learn them and play with my kid.

As someone who's learning chess I am grateful this book was written. It is favored for children but as an adult who knows nothing about chess but wants to learn I found it very helpful. At the time of review, I have scrolled through the book but plan to use it as a reference sheet as I learn. Will buy a physical copy for myself.
