Manual escolar de ajedrez. Curso básico - Anatoli Karpov, Anatoli Shingiriy

School Chess Textbook: Basic Course by Anatolij Karpow and Anatolij Szingiriej is a chess textbook for beginners, written for children in grades one to four of primary school. It introduces the game in a clear, structured way and helps young readers build both rule knowledge and chess thinking from the very start.

What the book covers

The course moves through elementary positions, then introduces tactical ways to gain material advantage and shows mating combinations. In practice, that means children learn more than piece movement alone: they also begin to understand how to build an advantage and finish a game with a direct attack.

The book contains 62 lessons, so the material can be worked through step by step. That format suits independent study, as well as lessons with a parent, a coach or at school.

Who it is for

This is a good choice for children who are just starting to learn chess, and for adults looking for a reliable way to introduce young learners to the basics. Its school-style structure keeps the material organised and easy to follow.
