This series of books is the fruit of the combined experience of a writer and an editor from the fields of education and chess. I believe that by exposing children to the game of chess through a system offered in this manual, we create a wonderful opportunity to provide new stimuli to children studying the program. This will help them develop positive thinking, support their essential studies, and train them in desired patterns of behaviour for a constructive society - Garry Kasparov, 13th World Champion, chairman of the Kasparov Foundation.
