“Excellent workbook at a young beginner level”
– Dan Heisman, nationally recognized chess teacher and author
Excerpts of Review by Rick Kennedy on Chessville.com
“…The chess diagrams are large and easy for youngsters to deal with – 2 ½ in boards with notation along the sides – and no more than four of them are put on a page in the puzzle sections. Throughout the Workbook there is good use of font size, bolding, and white space.
…It is clear throughout his workbook, in the material he presents and in the way that he presents it, that Bardwick is familiar with the younger player.
For that matter, he is also familiar with the classroom, and Chess Workbook for Children is a good resource for the teacher who wants to include some chess instruction along with the regular curriculum. In that case, educators might do well to take a look at the author’s earlier, companion book, Teaching Chess in the 21st Century – Strategies and Connections to a Standards-Based World.
…Sure, there are a lot of books out there on “how to play chess” – some, seemingly, older than Viktor Korchnoi. But, for something hot off the presses, brand new and teacher- and classroom- aware, well, let’s face it: this looks like a job for The Chess Detective!”
