A Parent's Guide to Chess - Heisman

So your child has discovered chess. You've probably heard the good news from teachers and other parents: children who play chess do better in school and learn self-reliance and analytical skills. It's great that your child is interested in an activity that offers such lifelong benefits and provides so many chances to learn real - life lessons - and is so much fun! But you need to know some basics to help. This book is the roadmap for you and your child to get the most out of a sometimes confusing but extremely rewarding opportunity.

The questions will come fast and sometimes sound like another language:

• What do you think of the Petroff Defense Dad?
• What do I do with an isolated pawn, Mom?
• Where can I find other kids to play chess with and a good coach?
• How can I play in a tournament to get an official rating?

A Parent's Guide to Chess helps you make the most of an important opportunity to teach your child important skills while strengthening your relationship and sharing an activity that can serve as a life-long bond.
