No Stress Chess
I was skeptical when I first saw this game listed, but after reading the reviews it seems No Stress Chess is the real deal. Everyone raves about how great of a learning system this is for beginning players. From what I can gather there are 4 levels of play that the kids work through. In level one it’s all about learning what the different pieces are and how they move. In this level you are playing with a very simplified rule set where there is no “Check” and you draw cards to see which piece you are able to move. Then you work your way through levels 2 and 3 learning more and more theory until finally they suggest an advanced game where some of the finer details of chess such as pawn promotion, castling, checking, and en passant are taught.
If the child you’re buying for likes board games and you’ve been wanting to introduce them to chess then this sound like the perfect way of doing it.
