Necessary Conditions
This is a chess book for pure beginners, who have only just learned the moves, and hardly have any practical knowledge. The only thing that is
required is a solid
knowledge of the movements of the pieces
, and of the
basic rules
. A knowledge of the elementary endgames King +
Rook versus King, and King + Queen versus King, is helpful when you start with this book, but not absolutely necessary.
It is, however, necessary before you start, to learn the chess notation, as well as a few special concepts like rank, file and diagonal. This
knowledge will be provided in the first chapter. In fact, many children will probably not really like this part, but it is highly important for all forms of
regular training. Besides, only with knowledge of the notation will you be able to use chess books of all kinds!
This book is useful for
chess beginners of all age categories
, although, of course, very young chess friends will require the help and
support of their parents, their brother or sister or, for example, a trainer.
A
chessboard with chess pieces
should be close at hand, so that the user can set up positions from the book on the board and have a
closer look at them. Adult readers will be able to solve most of the exercises from the diagrams, but with difficult positions, which will come
soon after the simple basics, looking at them on a chessboard will be closer to practice as well as helpful and desirable.
It is not advisable to study the majority of positions in the book with a computer. Of course, you can now and then enter a position into a
chess program and analyse it with the help of the computer. But nothing can replace the act of simply looking at the chessboard. This
contributes strongly to the development of a subconscious feel for the position and for the game. This especially holds true for novice children.
Even if you already have some knowledge of the game, you should work through this book from beginning to end. Systematic training is
important, and a possible repetition or refreshment of certain pieces of knowledge already present, has never done anybody any harm! This
applies especially to adult beginners, who often want to make rapid progress and in so doing miss several important basic concepts. This is
only human and understandable, but it often leads to annoying problems at a later stage.
If you follow these suggestions, you will rapidly learn a lot about tactics, and you will soon be able to apply this knowledge in your games.
