Chess is: Tactics and Strategy. Kids all see 'tactics' as the right way to win, and want to contest the board instantly in all areas. This book will help them improve their style - and give them 'winning' concepts to start using immediately. I use it with all my students.

Tactics is what you do - when there is something to do. Strategy is what you do when there is 'nothing' to do (at the moment). This is a winner. must have for all.
