More than just another chess for beginners book Much more than a teaching chess to kids book Chess from Scratch will not only help beginners of all ages, but also gets those of us who haven't played a game for 40 or 50 years to pick the game up again. Its intention is to move the reader from rank beginner to an intermediate level of chess. The author, a young teacher and chess enthusiast, found that teaching chess to children with various levels of ADHD improved their power of concentration. He wrote the book to show how chess could be part of ADHD education. It doesn't matter what age you are or whether you suffer from ADHD or not, following this chess course will take you to another level. With websites like chess.com to let you practice against computer programs or live players of different ability levels, it must be a better alternative for self-improvement than the "shoot 'em up" games so many kids and adults get addicted to. Below is the back cover description. Chess is a board game where you must outmaneuver your opponent—but is there more? It turns out that chess has a whole other dimension, which this book covers, from history to neurodivergence. Additionally, this book develops chess players holistically. All the major sections—opening, middle-game, and endgame -- will be comprehensively covered. Although this book is aimed at beginners, more complex topics and additional reading resources are included for more advanced players. This book also connects chess with neurodivergence, in particular ADHD, providing tips on educating ADHD patients. So, why read this book? • You will learn 16 tips on chess strategies. • You will receive tried and tested advice to help you improve. • You will be provided with extensive further reading and practice resources for perfecting concepts. • You will gain insights in history to ignite your interest in chess. "Various heuristic methods have been examined—such as color-coding for systematised, fast, and organized comprehension—to introduce and foster useful habits and soft skills that young adults can use in real life." - Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suriyadeo Tripathi, Director of Moral Center Thailand (Public Organization), Pediatrician (Adolescent Medicine) “With the knowledge he acquired, the author feels the need to share what he knows starting in his small community in Bangkok, which I praise as most admirable.” - Sahapol Nakvanich, Current President of Thailand Chess Association "I am confident that playing chess often will help individuals, both neurodivergent and neurotypical, develop their thinking, reasoning, and knowledge skills. This book is a must-have for beginners and is particularly intriguing in its section on the convergence of Chess and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)." - Kittiratt Na-Ranong, Former Deputy Prime Minister, Government of Thailand, Former President of Thailand Chess Association "Passion and endeavor in the book shows how much the author wants chess to be used to connect people for the benefit of society." - Assistant Prof. Songpoom Benyakorn, M.D., Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist About the author Victor D. Phisitkul is a chess player based in Bangkok. He has organized numerous chess tournaments in his hometown and created a curriculum for teaching chess. He currently works with ADHD students to help them improve their logical reasoning skills through chess. He believes chess is a mindsport that bridges all disabilities and thus is working to increase awareness of the game.
