How to Beat Your Dad at Chess: Including the 50 Deadly Checkmates
Not only an instruction manual for children wanting to learn the game, but also anyone else who has a 'Dad' (which in this case can mean any opponent that is winning more often than not), How to Beat Your Dad at Chess is a fun and informative book designed to improve your matches.
Teaching readers the 'Fifty Deadly Checkmates' (basic attacking patterns that occur repeatedly in games between players of all standards) with each mating motif carefully and simply explained alongside illustrative examples for visual learners, How to Beat Your Dad at Chess also offers a final test that enables the reader to grade their pattern recognition abilities, and a final chapter explaining what to do if your Dad is Russian Chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov!
