Written and Illustrated by Ray King
This book was cleverly written and illustrated; children and adults can both benefit from the lessons presented. Basic chess rules are covered, as well as a fair amount of strategy. I strongly recommend it, especially as a gift.
If you are looking for a chess book that that isn't too involved and you want short and simple this is it! I recommend it for any kid who just wants to learn the very basics
