Combination Chess Set and Instruction Book

An Italian proberb goes, *After the game, the king and pawn go into the same box.* A world in itself, chess mimics life in more ways than one. While quite simple on the surface, its complexity is mind-boggling. This set provides a book to learn from and a board to play. Want to know all the ins and outs of this most challenging, stimulating game? Get them from a grandmaster...and then start playing--and winning--with your own magnetic chess set! In Chess Basics, world-renowned champion Nigel Short proves that this *game of kings* doesn't have to be complicated...not when there are easy-to-follow diagrams plus information on setting up the board; descriptions of every piece and its function; a guide to notation; a discussion of check and checkmate; a list of special moves; and more.
