I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Ever since my son started learning chess, I have developed an interest in it. While I have always regarded chess as a game of strategy, this book helped me see how it can be applied to daily life, too.

A simple and straightforward way towards inclusivity.

4 stars.
