If you have thought of chess as a game for mature people, you are in for a surprise when you look into chess-authority Fred Reinfeld's recent book “Chess for Children”. (Sterling Publishing Co. $2.50). In his foreword the author mentions numbers of young chess players, pointing out that the present champion for the U.S. is 14 year-old Bobby Fischer and that many seven year olds are learning the game. This is, of course, not a book to be read at one sitting. It is rather a clearly worded manual for introducing children (and this reviewer would add adults) to the charm and mysteries of the game. Excellent diagrams increase the clarity of the text. -A. G. B.
