Description

Chess is a game of extraordinary excitement and beauty, with an impressive literature, history and heritage accumulated over the past thousand years.

All children should have the opportunity to learn this wonderful game, and indeed many claim that playing abstract strategy games such aschess provides a wide range of cognitive and social benefits such as improvements in problem-solving ability and communication skills.However, Richard James argues that, because of the complexity of chess, most younger children would gain more benefit from simpler chess-based strategy games and incremental learning.

In this practical handbook, Richard provides a wide range of games and puzzles appropriate for primary schools based on these principles and explains how teachers can identify children who would benefit from starting young.Richard also sets out how this approach can engage the whole community, including working with children with special needs, getting parents involved in learning and playing, and developing partnerships between primary and secondary schools.An ideal resource for primary and secondary school teachers wanting to introduce their pupils to chess.
