Subject: really good endgame book for kids
Hi,

I'm looking for a good endgame book for kids.
I see a lot of tactic books at the ket (and yes I think
tactic is very important and I like "chess school 1a" -
http://www.chesscentral.com/Chess-School-1a-p/2845086.htm ).
But I think endgames have the advantage that the small number
of pieces make it easier for kids (5-8 years) to understands the
logic of chess moves. And I think tactic can be trained in the endgame
too.

I have "Practical endgames" from Keres but it is not a special book for beginners
and the books of Juri Averbakh are too difficult for beginners.

Best regards,
Thomas

Good hint ! Today I visited our chess shop found the book and found it
very appropriate. I acquired it.
