Classical pedagogy aplenty “This is a magnificent book in large format on great quality paper. […] The pedagogy is impressive. Sjakk. Slik blir du helt konge really caters for players of all levels. […] In a traditionally male-dominated sport, it’s good to see women represented in both Flu Hartberg’s illustrations and in tips from famous chess players. […] These challenges make Sjakk. Slik blir helt konge a handy book to have even if you don’t have anyone to play with.”BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO

A champion book“It was a good idea to get such a talented and distinctive comic book artist as Hartberg involved with this project. His work is clear and clever, whether he is illustrating anecdotes from the story and the situation on the chessboard or creating caricatures of characters from chess history. […] Sjakk. Slik blir du helt konge is an excellent first textbook on the basic rules of the game and its almost insolvable mysteries.”DAGBLADET
