The Chess Kid’s Book of Tactics

In chess, tactics are the tricks and techniques players use to get a quick advantage over their opponents. David MacEnulty, a former director of program development in New York City’s award-winning Chess-in-the-Schools program, teaches students how to develop a tactical mindset. In The Chess Kid’s Book of Tactics , he instructs 6-10-year-old players in how to recognize the basic chess patterns and how to apply those patterns to understand-and win-the game.
