Description
A must have for beginners. A wonderful way to introduce
the game of chess to the novice in your life. The generously sized chessmen
and board make learning a snap. You're never too young (or old) to learn how
to play the beloved game of chess. In an age that seems convinced high Tech is
always better, it's nice to see such an intelligently low-tech approach to
teaching the world's greatest board game. This is simply a standard plastic
Staunton-style chess set-with one big difference. Each piece is marked with
its name, its value, and the directions in which it can Legally move when
moving or taking. The large (2-inch), hollow pieces are lightweight and feel
pretty flimsy, but in fact they're sturdy and their extra-wide bases give them
the stability that small, clumsy fingers need. A folding board and
instructions are included with the set. The instructions, unfortunately, are
weak; they're best used as an aid to memory by someone who has already had the
