Synopsis:

The latest in the McKay Chess Library for Kids

Checkmate is the ultimate goal of chess. In The Chess Kid’s Book of Checkmate, chess teacher David MacEnulty teaches the rules of checkmate to players between the ages of 6 and 10. The big idea in The Chess Kid’s Book of Checkmate is that many checkmates fall into well-known patterns. The player who remembers common checkmate patterns will have an advantage over the one who doesn’t. Step-by-step, with more than 100 diagrams, The Chess Kid’s Book of Checkmate reveals:

·How to train the brain to recognize basic checkmate patterns
·Special circumstances involving checkmate with one piece acting alone
·How to come up with your own checkmate patterns
