I have ADHD and love playing chess with my grandad (my nanna also died) so this story felt like it could have been about me!

This interesting, plot-twisting story about a young boy who is trained by his granddad to become a champion. I would recommend this book to anyone who is ready to be hooked in and enjoy a thrilling ride.

This book is fictional. I like the the main character in this book,his name is Felix Schopp he has an ADHD so he can't focus on his work.His granddad teaches him chess and soon he becomes a very good chess player so he goes on to be the school champion! I recommend it to people who want a good book to read as this is currently this is the best book I have ever read!

I really enjoyed it because the author made no pictures but he described it so well I could really create the pictures in my mind.

I thought it was the best book EVER.....For people who love chess[ like me] you will 99.9% love it! My favourite character was Felix as he hated chess yet some how he found a way to love it considering they [Characters ] think he has ADHD he has done really well. I would defiantly recommend it to a person who LOVES chess.....

I liked the book because I like to play chess and wanted to know more about it. I mostly liked Grandpa as he was trying to give more enthusiasm to his grandson to make him play chess rather than Fortnite. I would recommend this to my friend

This book is a very nice book. It talks about a boy with a concentration problem and his 'boring and weird' grandad who teaches him chess and he learns how to concentrate. He also finds out a sad mystery about his grandad
