Review
An army of White Chessmen has invaded Chess City and captured the Black King and Queen...but the reader can help the Black Chessmen rescue them by solving a series of puzzles, each of which is based on the move of a chess piece.
Checkmate at Chess City is an ingenious book that cleverly combines teaching the young reader to play chess, piece by piece and move by move, with a cracking interactive adventure story that gathers pace as the game goes on.
Ideal for anyone wanting to master the art of the game--no matter how young or old--Checkmate at Chess City is an unusual and innovative picture book that captures the imagination while teaching a classic game. (Age 6 and over) --Susan Harrison
