Teaching Chess to Kids

We recommend three affordable entry-level books written in a workbook style to teach the game of chess to children ages 5 and up.

1. Chess Rules for Students: Explanation of the basic rules of how to play chess that is easily understood by young kids.
2. Checkmate Ideas for Students: Building on the basic concepts of a winning chess strategy on finishing a game for advanced beginners.
3. Chess Tactics for Students: This chess tactics workbook teaches tactical and strategic lessons, which are the most exciting and useful part of this stage of learning. Tactical skills improve the overall game, quickness of perception, and spotting winning moves, turning young players into excellent chess players.

Tailored for Young Readers

Chandler's Chess for Children is a charming way to teach chess to young kids new to the game, with the main character’s pet alligator explaining the game in simpler terms. 

Todd Bardwick wrote the Chess Workbook for Children with easier vocabulary, which any chess player from ages 6 to 8 would follow much easier and read on their own. This book is an excellent resource for young learners to practice their skills independently while enjoying the process of mastering chess.

Chess books such as How to Beat Your Dad at Chess are suitable for advanced beginners to masters. They explain chess tactics in an engaging and fun way, showing how to beat stronger opponents (a friend from the chess club, a chess coach, or even Dad!) by cleverly forcing checkmate on them.
