Description
Details: 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 game explainedIn 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.
