Críticas

I really enjoyed Power Chess for Kids. Just as importantly, the kids I work with got a kick out of it too. The fact that kids can read this book on their own and be entertained while they learn to improve their chess is an added bonus. --Edward Scimia, About.com-CHESS

The organizations of the book is stellar, the layout is cheerful (with cartoon-style characters) and the material is important for chess improvement --Dr. Alexey W. Root, former US Women's Chess Champion, author of CHILDREN AND CHESS

I myself have three children and when my youngest son (8 years old) saw the book, he immediately got excited. The drawings and the child-friendly lay-out had a magic impact on him. --Martin Rieger, Europa Rochade Magazine"
