This novel and entertaining chess instructional DVD for kids, winner of
four Gold prizes, is taught by Josh Waitzkin - one of the most brilliant
and charismatic young chess players in America - and his teacher, Bruce
Pandolfini both made world-famous by the Paramount film Searching for
Bobby Fischer. Using a new and fresh approach, the game of Chess is
taught from the unusual position of checkmate - the ultimate move in
this old game. Josh and Bruce move easily through the intricate moves
and rules of the game, regaling the viewer with interesting real-life
anecdotes and clear and exciting graphics that simply and pointedly
explain the complex moves and turns of the pieces on the board. The
Chess Starts Here! DVD is intended for viewers six years old through
adulthood, and endeavors to teach the fundamentals of the game of Chess
so that even a child could play the game after viewing and learning the
lessons in the DVD Chess Starts Here! begins in a New York City park
where Josh plays one of the chess hustlers in a rapid-fire 2 minute
"speed-chess" game, then takes us to the heart of the game, school-rooms
where kindergarten children are already taught to play, and to outdoor
riverside parks where chess is played daily by lovers of the game. The
DVD is menu and chapter driven to easily choose the lessons. It also
includes Spanish subtitles, extra material on Josh and Bruce, and stills
of some of the highlights of Joshs accomplishments. Chess Starts Here!
