Win a copy of The Batsford Book of Chess for Children

A brand-new edition of this international chess classic; teaching beginner’s chess for kids with all-new illustrations.

Introducing Jess and Jamie: chess-mad children who are here to share everything you need to know about the game they love to play.

Aimed at children aged 7 and up, this character-based book is a complete guide to chess for those starting out in the game, explaining all the basics; from first sitting down at the board to sneaky tricks on how to beat opponents.

Chess is experiencing a new wave of popularity in schools, and it’s educational too. The perfect way to develop analytical thinking skills, increase resilience, foster the competitive instinct – whilst providing a lot of fun along the way!

Friendlier and funnier than the average children’s chess book, and accompanied by eye-catching illustrations, The Batsford Book of Chess for Children is an essential addition to any child’s bookshelf.

How to use TheSchoolRun

Testimonials

'My granddaughter is enjoying using TheSchoolRun worksheets and eBooks – they really do make learning fun.'

- Moira, Tring

'Thank you for providing a much-needed service for parents and one which really represented good value for money. I particularly loved your handwriting sections and the ‘Learning Journey’ links that you have created. There are not many services I would pay to subscribe to, and even less I would recommend, but yours is one which I did!'

- Nicola, Aberdeenshire

'I’m not on social media but just wanted to reach out and say I have been recommending you to everyone I know, with kids of course!

Your site has been fantastic. It’s not only teaching my little one things, it’s showing me how things should’ve been done when I was younger. I do wish you were around then, as your content is fantastic and my little boy looks forward to your daily worksheets. Learning definitely made fun.

People are so quick to moan these days, so I wanted to send an email to sing my praises. You’ve helped me become more organised with the schedule of things, but without the pressure I was putting myself under before. We have fun and learn.'

- Katie, Sevenoaks

'I'm finding your site an absolutely fantastic resource alongside the stuff being sent from my son's school. We love being able to keep track of his progress on his Learning Journey checklist!'

- Claire, Kent
