Chess is more popular today than ever before
"Chess is a sea in which a gnat may drink, and an elephant may bathe."- Hindu proverb
"An hour's history of two minds is well told in a game of chess."
- Jose Raul Capablanca, world chess champion (1921-1927)
"The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality."
- Bobby Fischer, world chess champion (1972)
"Chess can open up a kid's brain, and develop it in a playful creative way. They can learn playfully about creative, strategic, and logical thinking, and quick problem-solving."
- Judit Polgar, women's world chess champion
Reviews
"The lovable duo, Emma and Ethan, as well as their Red Panda companion, all beautifully and colourfully drawn, make the rich origins of chess palatable to a young audience. As a young Indian American myself, it’s good to know that there are picture books that display diversity without making it the sole focus of the book. Instead, this book, with its detailed, high spirited illustrations, shines the spotlight on all the lessons to be learned from chess."

"Although written primarily for children up to age 12, this informative and fascinating tale will also entertain chess players of all ages. Young readers will enjoy the illustrations just as much as the narrative, and families and friends will appreciate having this book to share their knowledge about the history of chess. The authors have filled a significant void in chess literature for children."

"I was pleased to go on yet another journey with our very own Dao - The Red Panda. The lovable characters are personable and create a perfect platform to explore the history of chess and combine it with witty humor and colorful animation."- Asita Anand, Director of Lower School, Stratford-Fremont, CA "Children will enjoy learning about how iconic pieces evolved, legendary players, and the game's enduring cultural influence. Young readers of all ages will develop a greater appreciation of the game of kings... and queens! The Discovery of Chess is as fun as it is informative and will especially appeal to children ages 3-12." - Midwest Book Review Get free Coloring Pages!
