Chess Once a Pawn a Time

Designed for children, Chess Once a Pawn a Time includes everything you need to capture the imaginations of young players. It includes 3-inch plastic chess pieces, a folding board with alpha-numeric notations, a velvet pouch for the pieces, and a storage box. But the defining feature of this set is the two books that introduce the game to curious young minds.

Book 1 provides a whimsical and compelling introduction to the game, the pieces, and the board layout. Book 2 contains interesting information on the individual chess pieces- something that should be introduces once some familiarity has been established. 

Patzi Stewart, the author of the Once a Pawn a Time books, has spent over 15 years teaching chess at the University of California Berkley. She has taken the most successful methods of engaging and teaching young players and presented them here- in a way that's accessible to young children.
