Parents naturally want to share their daily lives, their interests, their passions, with their children. This book uses chess as an example of how to analyze and break down an activity in order to match the child's mental, physical, and psychological interests and abilities to his specific ages beginning with the very young child. However "No Checkmate" has been also used as a "how to" book for adults who have always wanted to learn chess because the focus is not on winning "checkmating" but on understanding and enjoying the process!
