Once a Pawn a Time

Once a Pawn a Time
Back in the '80s, when Timberdoodle was just launched, homeschoolers were known for their denim jumpers, wheat grinders, and love of chess. Fast forward nearly 40 years, and our fashion sense and household expectations have improved, but our passion for chess is just as strong. If your family has ever felt this social influence to play chess or you want some of the proven benefits of chess—strengthening academic performance, sharpening critical thinking, and boosting emotional intelligence—then Once a Pawn a Time is a great place to start. This imaginative approach to teaching chess is the most straightforward method we have ever seen. Your child will fully understand each piece and its permitted moves at the completion of this course. Even if you have never played chess yourself, Once a Pawn a Time is all you need to teach your child and yourself this classic game.

Once a Pawn a Time includes 2 instructional books. The first book whimsically introduces the chess pieces, the 2 chess kingdoms, and the board layout. The second book builds on those foundational skills by exploring the strengths and weaknesses of each chess piece, strengthening your child's novice playing abilities. Along with these books, the set also includes a folding chess board and a complete set of pieces, providing your child with everything he needs to enjoy the game for years to come. We can't wait for your child to embark on their chess journey with Once a Pawn a Time!
