Chess Gymnasium by Jaan Ehlvest

A new book by the Estonian GM Jaan Ehlvest (who now lives in the US) introduces us to the “Russian way” of teaching chess to young children. It is a method born of decades of research. “Chess Gymnasium” introduces each concept slowly, but with depth. The author, once ranked number five in the world, describes the project.
