About this title

Synopsis

Every day more and more educators are realizing that chess is a great way to help attention-challenged teens develop a capacity for disciplined thinking. Learn Chess Quick is designed to grab the interest of those students and release their untapped potential—right from page 1. With a little help from the world’s greatest board game and the sidesplitting humor of Gray Jolliffe’s cartoons, hard-to-reach youngsters will painlessly discover the pleasures of mental competition, the importance of focusing on a task, and the values of sportsmanship. They’ll be having fun even before they’ve made their first move!
