Chess Junior / Junior Schach

A quick introduction

Chess Junior is an introductory training game for chess, a quick entry with lots of fun in playing - intended for one beginner who wants to learn the game, and one person who already knows how to play.-

The rules features explanations and training exercises for the movement rules of the different chess pieces - Rook, Bishop, King, Pawn, Knight and Queen - using preselected pieces and given positions on the board. The beginner plays White, for the player of Black there are instructions for how to move in some exercises - in the example for the Bishop, Black must move in a way that lets the beginner captures a black piece in every move.

Then there are junior games, building on each other, also using a reduced number of pieces: The Karussell uses four white and four black Pawns in the center of the board as a barrier, they are not moved; Rook and Bishop begin in diagonally opposite corners, must move round the board once and be first to return to the starting position. The Doppelangriff exercise demands of the beginner to capture all white pawns with the black Queen and use double attack as often as possible; variants for this mechanism are mentioned using other pieces.

Those junior training games demonstrate situations a chess game - Capturing, Covering, Return attack, Threat, Double attack and Forces Move. Pieces are represented by cubes, two of the sides show the symbol for a piece. The game is available in three color variants.

The attractive design and the accessibly presented exercises allow for quick access to the the royal game, create interest and provide quick success in the learning process.
