Features: Grand perspective and calculation ability are two important indicators of chess skill level. Grand perspective, also known as "chess sense," refers to the ability to observe the overall situation in a complex and intricate game, judging which moves are valuable and where the main battlefield lies. Calculation ability primarily refers to the ability to calculate deeply and accurately in local confrontations, achieving the best results. After young players step through the gate of Go, if they want to improve their chess skills quickly, they must strengthen the cultivation of grand perspective and calculation ability. Learning Go theory and doing exercises is one shortcut to develop such abilities. The author has been engaged in teaching Go to children for many years, with numerous students winning championships in Shanghai's children's Go competitions. This book is compiled from the author's teaching notes, which can be considered a "secret recipe." Regarding the introduction of Go theory, the author explains general theory in child-friendly language, making it easy to understand. In the exercises section, the author selects problems based on simplicity and practicality—simplicity means fewer pieces, making it clear at a glance for children; practicality means the problems come from common patterns in actual games and children's matches, giving a sense of familiarity, so that once learned, children can apply them immediately. To enhance interest, the author categorizes the exercises and indicates their difficulty levels with stars. In this sense, this book is both an exercise collection and a textbook. Every problem is carefully selected and classic, and after studying this book, your chess skills will bring everyone a pleasant surprise.
