Each move needs to be useful and precise. The best way to develop the necessary know-how is by experience and practice, rather than rote learning of 'rules' and principles. It's all about the specifics and being alert to what the opponent is doing, and pouncing on any errors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChess Opening Workbook for Kids\u003c\/b\u003e is the second in a new series of books that help players gain chess skills by tackling hundreds of carefully chosen exercises. The themes are similar to those in Gambit's best-selling 'Chess for Kids' series, but the focus is on getting hands-on experience. Many positions build on ones given earlier, showing how advanced ideas are normally made up of simpler ones that we can all grasp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter is focused on a particular theme and features dozens of exercises, with solutions that highlight the main strategic and tactical points. Each chapter offers tips on opening play, such as how to detect weaknesses and poorly-placed pieces. Later chapters address key aspects of opening strategy such as the centre, development and castling. The book ends with a series of seven graded tests where you are given few clues about the themes involved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Burgess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911465376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911465379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gambit Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Graham Burgess","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995826520319,"sku":"9781911465379","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0febafea-466f-4e2c-a542-bca6631dc51b.jpg?v=1683338079","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chess-opening-workbook-for-kids-graham-burgess-9781911465379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
