Chess Playground Part 1

En kjekk nybegynnerbok på engelsk blant annet for barn. Her blir reglene og det enkleste forklart, og det er bra med passende øvingsoppgaver hele veien. Fokuserer utmerket på å lære sjakk, og innmaten i boka er faktisk bare i svart-hvitt.

Foreløpig har vi sett bare denne første delen, men den går heldigvis litt lenger med oppgaver enn mang en "gild" nybegynnerbok som stanser for tidlig.
