"No Stress Chess" is an easy game based on "real" chess and it is a learning system for beginners and even young children. It works using two key elements which are an annotated chess board and a card system and it removes the difficulty of setting up the board correctly and the strategy part of the game (although you will learn this later as you progress). The simplicity of the system means that children as young a five can play against someone else and they will both be evenly matched
One of the difficulties in a young family is that the very young children can not normally join in a game of chess firstly because they don't understand strategy and secondly they don't remember all the chess moves. In this game you don't have to remember all the moves as the card system deals with that. Youngsters can even join in in setting up the board as the starting position of each piece is shown. As anyone plays the game they will be learning the piece positions and also the moves made by each piece without any effort.
The "No Stress Chess" game system uses an annotated chess board with pictures showing where each piece is to be placed and some additional information such as the pawn "first moves" (1 or 2 squares). The cards in the game each have the picture of the piece to move and also exactly how you can move it.
To play the game each player in turn takes a card and moves the specified piece which means the that game is now a game of chance - although you are really learning how to play "real" chess at the same time.
