Chess Openings, Traps and Zaps
3 of 3 found this helpful Bruce Pandolfini creates one of the best books for increasing encouragement and satisfaction for young chessmasters! Definitely elevates level of play by giving vision, purpose and plan to Opening and Mid-Game strategy on offense and defense.
Winning plays with discovery, gambits, pinning and forking, building and deflecting attacks, pitfalls and traps. Thorough glossary of terminology, concepts and theories helps bring elements of Chess to life and improve retention. With 202 examples of openers, accepting and declining gambits, mating attacks, including 53 just on the variations and nuances of the Ruy Lopez!
An invaluable tool for the war chest of every Chess player.

Cartridge Didn't Work
Product didn't work. But because the cartridge body is opaque, I can't tell if it is because the ink has dried out, clogged, expired or just old.
The printer continues to say the Black Cartridge is missing or not functional.

Great Legend, Just too much reality
I liked the story very much, and bought it for my 6-year-old granddaughter. The length and complexity were excellent for children. The locale and subject were different enough from daily life to grab and hold the attention of the young reader. The only part that made me uneasy was the transition the girl went through in the story. The girl is propelled into the water and becomes a fish. That is fine, and would have been perfect if she then swam and talked with the fishes, and returned to the shore as she does at the end of the story. However, the legend has the girl swim away with the fish for two years before returning to her family. That is hard for a 6-year-old little girl to accept. Her family is sad when the girl can't be saved, and mourns her loss for two years, before the girl-fish suddenly jumps from the water and once again becomes a little girl. The apparent drowning death and grief suffered by her parents and siblings was unnecessary to the story line and could have been left out. just my opinion.
