Everything about Story Time Chess, from its high quality components to its joyously engaging and effective teaching methods, exceeded our every expectation. At the core of this remarkable feat is the set's Storybook, an integral part of the learning process. In the Storybook, each piece is a memorable character in an ongoing story that serves as a powerful way to understand and memorize the distinct ways in which it moves. Following each chapter are minigame exercises that provide an enjoyably engrossing means of practicing the capabilities of the piece just covered. A full set of chess pieces are included, and these, too, are quite special. Each piece has a corresponding character cutout that slips into a groove on the front, giving the piece the appearance (for as long as desired) of the friendly character from the story. Also included are a two-in-one board with a story-themed side and a standard chess board side, colorful pizza and jewel tokens for use in the practice exercises and in a version of chess called the Crown Card Game, and much more. In addition to imparting the knowledge necessary to play chess, this entertaining and impactful approach inspires in kids a genuine love of the game and fosters a hunger to keep playing, learning and improving!
