Richard James's exciting new book, Chess for Schools: From simple strategy games to clubs and competitions, presents a new approach to promoting chess in primary schools which, by introducing the concepts through a series of mini games, will enable all children to better understand and enjoy chess.

Chess is a game of extraordinary excitement and beauty, with an impressive literature, history and heritage accumulated over the past thousand years. All children should have the opportunity to learn this wonderful game, and indeed many claim that playing abstract strategy games such as chess provides a wide range of cognitive and social benefits – such as improvements in problem-solving ability and communication skills.
