1 | Murray Chandler | How to beat your dad at chess | For parents who are looking to introduce their kids to chess, this book is a great motivator! From a brief glance it's already apparent that the language is asy enough to understand and the basics are all there. I'd recommend this for kids who are 6 years and up, but parents can read this to any child who's younger! |
2 | Simon Webb | Chess for tigers | An excellent guide for the 1200+ club/tournament player. This book almost single-handedly got me to 1800, along with Chess for Zebras by Jonathan Rowson improve your tactics in 7 days by Gary Lane. Overall, it explains the practical side of chess. How to beat stronger players, manage your time properly and get the sort of position that you like. Note to people who are scared of too much chess notation and variaions, this book is for you! Very little moves with lots of diagrams. |
3 | Murray Chandler | Chess tactics for kids! | An excellent tactics textbook for children 7 years and up. The information is clearly divided into chapters which organize the different tactics into the child's brain. |
4 | Paul Hoffman | King's Gambit: A son, a father, and the world's most dangerous game | As a huge literature fan and a future English teacher, I beg you to read this book. One of the best biographies I've ever read, chess or otherwise. Loved it so much that a math teacher took it away while i was reading it in class! For parents, you will understand the world of chess players and the best part, no chess knowledge necessary! For teens, the most relatable protagonist you'll ever get in any book. |
