Puzzles or Practice sets for young children learning chess

[David Martin]

Great app so far, but I am wondering if you know of a practice set or puzzles that are more basic that I can import. My 4 yr. old daughter is learning chess and her favorite book is "Chess Puzzles for Children" by David Levin. I would like to be able to import similar puzzles that start easy and progressively get more difficult. Thank you.

I found what looks like a good set of puzzles for children to import here: http://www.banquise.org/python/version-chess-pgn-tex-pdf-converter/

Hi David,

Will look into this in more detail later. 

It comes down to finding a good collection. I have uploaded the PGN file from your next post and have it available here:

http://jwtc.nl/files/practice/mate_in_one.pgn

Note: have not tested it yet, but a short glance at the file looks promising - let me know if it works for you using the "advanced > create practice set". (so it will be available in the practice option - not the puzzles - that format is different).

Best regards,

Jeroen

Hi David, 

I mixed it up - the PGN format is not suitable to create a practice set, you can import it as puzzles if you download 

http://jwtc.nl/files/practice/mate_in_one.pgn

on your Android and choose Advanced > Import Puzzles and select the downloaded file.

There is a bug in the import so that not all puzzles are usable, but at least she can start puzzling!

Best regards,

Jeroen
