Jessica E Prescott helps you improve your skills through 35 fun activities ndash; this isnnsquo;t just a textbook about the rules! Why not have a game of Face Off, all you need are two rooks and bishops of each colour, then battle it out to capture all of your opponenttsquo;s pieces, or try Rookie Cookie, where the rook can go as far as it wants and move in any direction? With Create-a-Mate you will learn the vital skill of following activity and working pieces as pairs. All the activities have clear, easy-to-follow instructions and colourful artworks so you can see exactly where pieces should be on the chessboard. There are also helpful hints and tips throughout, as well as a Starting Out section if you ever need reminding of a rule or have forgotten how a piece can move.
