description: Kids from 6 to 16 who have learned the basics by working their way through the authors' Start Playing Chess , are now ready to focus on the secrets of winning. This skill-building manual will do the trick. More than 100 diagrams show how to exploit the strengths of each piece, and defend against its weaknesses. There are winning strategies for different board find out what to do when you're in a closed position (when you're locked in by pawns) or an open one (when you're free to move and trade). Then try your hand at "double stuff"--moves that do more than one thing at a time--as well as winning tactics such as "family fork" and "skewer."
