Chess – a game for everyone: The rules of chess and the basics of strategy for beginners JOTEM

Chess was very popular in my family. An unwritten tradition required every man to be able to play chess. And everyone played - if someone didn't want to, they had to. Regular tournaments (between men) were played at family events. Women at that time went about their own affairs. I was the only girl who was fascinated by the game of chess. When I was little, I stood and watched. Later on, my grandfather taught me to play chess and I started participating in family tournaments. Later I started winning. Now, many years later, I still see chess as a great game that gains traction as it gets to higher and higher levels.In the book Chess - a game for everyone at the beginning I included a detailed description of the basic rules of the game. The rest of the book covers the basics of tactics and strategies that have been kept to a minimum - the book was meant to be short. I made one exception when describing The Queen's Gambit in more detail, as lately a lot of people have been asking me questions about this opening.The book is a beginner's chess manual. It is also a good chess textbook for children. I hope that after reading this book, the reader will not only learn the basics of the game, but will also be able to put The Queen's Gambit and other tactics into practice.
