The Kids' Book of Chess (book and game) by Harvey
Kidder. Using the life and times of the Middle Ages, the author explains the
game of chess in a fun and exciting way. Detailed step-by-step illustrations
abound in the 96-page book which is accompanied by an annotated game board and
chess pieces in a storage box. Our son was first introduced to the game through
this set at the age of 7, and at the ripe old age of 12 still enjoys playing
with it.
Game with paperback book.

Forget the kids! I learned to play chess at age 47 using The
Kids' Book of Chess. I love this book! And the chess board has a great “cheat
sheet” at each end to remind you of the basic moves each chess piece is allowed
to make. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I guess I should also
say that my then 6-year-old son also learned to play chess from this set. He
loved the book; the stories really bring each chess piece alive.
