Learning Chess Workbook Step 1 Mix

The step-by-step method has been developed by Rob Brunia and Cor van Wijgerden to teach children to play chess. A large number of schools and chess clubs in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Austria use this method for their chess lessons. 

This method consists of six steps. Each step is accompanied with an instruction book with the teaching material to be used by the trainer / teacher / parent and a workbook with exercises for the students. Besides the "extra" and "plus" workbooks, there is now a new series: the "mix" workbooks.

In the Step 1 mix workbook are 61 pages with exercises, which means as many as 61x12=732-9 (drawings e.o) = 723 puzzles.

The theme's are known from Step 1 and Step 1 plus. A workbook containing exercises with one ‘simple’ assignment: play the best move. Just like in a real game, you do not know whether you can win or whether you have to defend. First, look at what’s going on? Can you give mate? Is winning material possible? Is there a piece in danger? In short, all kinds of stuff.
Two kinds of puzzles are different: on each page you will find a multiple choice question and a position with a line below the diagram. Only on the last 8 pages there is an indication of the theme: 2 pages with mate and 2 pages with defending. Why an indication of the theme? The puzzles are really a challenge.
