Customer Review: OK, so my title is a take-off on another of Chernev's excellent books, but it was this little gem that turned the lights on in my brain's chess circuitry. Before reading it, I just pushed pieces around without understanding why. After, I was able to focus on the characteristic strategy of each opening, find my way around the middle game, and handle an endgame. It's this last part of the chess puzzle that's most overlooked by beginners, who prefer to concentrate on their favorite openings. I learned endgames well enough that I was able to lose points earlier in the game and still pull out a win in the endgame. I was finally able to beat players I never beat before, and keep beating them!
    The games are exciting! I never knew so much deep strategy went into each move. This book should be everyone's jumping off point in learning chess. -- Peter Farrell from San Francisco Area, California

Customer Review: I was given this game as a gift, and being a rabid Harry Potter fan, was quite excited about it. When I brought it to my parents' house over spring break, my mom and my brother, both of whom have read the books were eager to play. The best thing however, is that my father, who hasn't read the books, also played with us and had fun. It was a great combination of the game "Clue" and Harry Potter, with a few fun twists (like a ghost playing peice!) I highly recommend this game- a great way to get the entire family together for an evening away from the television! -- StarryBean from Missouri

Customer Review: With its white sides and red corners, this plastic puzzle cube is an elegant addition to any nursery. The "door" incorporates a simple abacus and has an easy-to-use twist latch for emptying the box. The other five sides are equipped with holes shaped like numbers, letters, animals, plants, and symbols. The extra chunky (approximately 2-by-1.5-by-1.5 inches) pieces make it easier for a parent to help with alignment. Depending on your point of view, this is either slightly more difficult than other shape sorters or better designed, because it does not seem possible to shove a shape through the wrong hole. --Richard Farr
