As a fellow chess coach, player, author, enthusiast, and most importantly Dad, Vishnu’s AlphaBet Chess Volume 3 warms my heart. With Dr. Suess-esque rhymes and super fun cartoons by Diriq, this book will be a hit for kids, parents, and coaches alike! It highlights many key chess ideas with easily understandable chessboard visuals to complement the rhymes. Oh, and if you’re a rap fan like me and my chess kids, each page also makes a fabulous chess rap! Enjoy!

AlphaBetChess is a novel concept for teaching kids about the world of chess. Rather than intimidate youngsters with complex jargon and unintelligible notation, AlphaBetChess breaks down complicated chess concepts into understandable stories told in a prose reminiscent of Dr. Seuss. This book is great for introducing kids to the enormous world of chess in a lighthearted, fun way.

“As someone who grew up with chess and now teaches the next generation of leaders through the game, I love how AlphaBetChess makes chess feel magical and approachable for kids. The rhymes and stories capture the imagination while also teaching strategy, creativity, and resilience. It’s the kind of book I wish I had when I was first learning!”

“Full of clear visuals and simple ideas, this book makes learning chess feel natural and fun from the very first page.” GM Elshan Moradiabadi, USA, September 2025

All parents are teachers, and they  often have to balance fun and seriousness while teaching kids complicated life concepts. With Vishnu’s book this dilemma disappears for chess, now you can be a clown too!

GM Alexander Shabalov, USA, September 2025

I have always been passionate about keeping chess fun, especially when it comes to kids and anyone learning the game, and so the AlphaBet Chess Series really resonates in our house. My 7 and 5 year olds absolutely love Alphabet Chess and it has now become a regular bedtime favourite. Sometimes I even find them picking up the book on their own and flicking through the colourful and entertaining pictures. And of course the best part is, they are learning lots of chess concepts without them even knowing it; and that is the real genius of these brilliant books!

I highly recommend Alphabet Chess and hope that others will find the same enjoyment in their homes as we have in ours!

I absolutely love The Rhyming Chess Chronicles. For new chessplayers, it will help them remember tricky rules like castling and en passant, as ample research shows that rhymes and jingles are powerful for building memory. For fans of chess, it will entertain with its catchy rhymes and brilliant illustrations. Above all, The Rhyming Chess Chronicles is a vivid reminder that chess is not just competitive, it is also pure fun. As a chess mom, I can’t wait to read these rhymes to my son!
