A nice small book to introduce someone to chess, especially the minigames. I’d like more of them. I know of one, but don’t know the name of it. You start with all black pieces on their positions and then with only one white knight (whoever you want, it’s symmetrical) you try to take all the black pieces in the lowest number of moves. My niece showed me this small exercise but I can’t recall the name if it and I was unable to find it online. On my todo list, to create a simple webpage with this mini game (along with other small/easy ones) where young players do practice and also keep their scores/time on a leaderboard per game ;-)
- andytratt 5y agoThanks, amazing, yes please make interactive things!! I always wanted to turn this into a site and put more of them, but my limited programming patience only led to a basic diagram generator (http://andytrattner.com/chessboard/ http://andytrattner.com/chessboard/) for the written page :( Different configurations to hop knights around are great. I recall https://acornchess.com/ https://acornchess.com/ has some more of these. They didn't have cloud-based stuff nor social / leaderboards if I recall, it was all local desktop and behind paywall. The opportunity is there to create better things! P.S. this site also has some more stuffs - https://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-training/endgame-simulations.php https://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-training/endgame-simulati...
