Subject: really good endgame book for kids
|
Hi, I'm looking for a good endgame book for kids. I see a lot of tactic books at the ket (and yes I think tactic is very important and I like "chess school 1a" - http://www.chesscentral.com/Chess-School-1a-p/2845086.htm ). But I think endgames have the advantage that the small number of pieces make it easier for kids (5-8 years) to understands the logic of chess moves. And I think tactic can be trained in the endgame too. I have "Practical endgames" from Keres but it is not a special book for beginners and the books of Juri Averbakh are too difficult for beginners. Best regards, Thomas
