Chess Opening Traps for Kids

During certain times of the year, I pick students showing signs of interest in exploring chess knowledge further than their basic lessons. I selected this book for one who was expressing interest in opening ideas. He was very happy to receive this book and has used it to understand openings he is trying out more fully. Of course, catching an opponent in a trap from the book helps too!

Unless your child knows tactics like skewers, discovered attacks, fork, checkmate in 3 moves etc. the book is too advanced. This is a great book for intermediate players who know the tactics involved in chess.
