Chess for Kids, 1.1

There is a common theme I've discovered in trying to find the best way

to teach chess to kids - play people better than you! There is also a school of thought that focuses on pattern recognition. If you recognize checkmate patterns that you've seen and studied before you will win more games. It's an interesting approach, somewhat common for the uninitiated it appears. The book on the left seems to be a good pick. I'm not finished, but like the direction of the book as well as his writing style.
