Why we like it

What drew us to this activity book is how it keeps chess interesting once children know the basics - introducing proper variants like Three Check Chess and Progressive Chess that genuinely change how you think about the game. Sabrina Chevannes has a real gift for making strategic thinking feel accessible through the characters of Jess, Jamie, Harry, and Marnie, who guide young players like knowledgeable friends rather than a textbook.
