Life is as simple as chess.

There are 16 chess pieces in a game of chess; as life begins perfectly in our career. We lose them as the game progress, just like our plans fail as time passes. Eventually, we were left with only a pawn and a king; our aspiration to achieve goals, and our inner soul. Most people surrender. But if we think deeper, it is in fact a queen in waiting, waiting to reach the other side of the checkerboard. Zooming further in, it is not just a queen in waiting, it is an opportunity to unlock all possibilities. If the game is still playable, be persistent. Who knows one day the table might turnover?

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
