Chess Teacher - The Game


Chess Teacher is a family game developed by Excalibur, Inc. based in Miami, FL for those eager to learn the exciting game of chess. The game is similar to any chess board but comes with a simple breakdown to teach the young and old chess novices how to play. Beginners can easily learn to play chess with the Chess Teacher Set.

Chess Teacher comes with the below elements and has an easy-to-follow format. Included in the game is an 8x8 square folding board of black and white tiles. The Staunton-style plastic playing pieces involve 16 black chess pieces (8 main pieces and 8 pawns) and 16 white chess pieces similarly. All the elements come packaged in a convenient tin which is perfect for storage or travel.

What is unique about Chess Teacher is that in addition to the pieces are instructional diagrams which attach to the piece itself. These indicate appropriate piece movement such as which direction they can maneuver and how many spaces.

A user guide is also included which provides detailed chess rules and tips for beginners. The guide begins with the basic outline of each piece and how they are to be placed and moved across the board. Next, an outline of chess rules from setting up play to movements of the pieces. The guide details many special moves which are important in learning how to play chess effectively. These moves include; capturing a piece, castling, capturing en passant, promotion and check. Endgame is briefly addressed as well and players can learn about checkmate, resignation and a draw. The user guide concludes with a few tips on chess to assist you in playing well from the beginning.
