Review from Hiver et Cafe
"Well. This book was incredibly frustrating. Anyways, this was a lot of fun and the book is so snarky and arrogant. It's hilarious. It refers to itself as if it were really a sentient being. Q: You may be good at Tic-Tac-Toe but seem to lack friends and have no social life. A: On the contrary, one of my best friends is a chess-playing book. However, we aren't able to get together as often as I might like due to his mobility issues. Also I do note that this wasn't a question, but more of a statement. But I answered because I felt sorry for you. That answer is easily one of my favourite parts of this book. I always stalemated in my games against the book. I refused to let it win and it was difficult to win against the book, as that's the whole point of it. The only way to win is when the book makes a mistake somewhere, allowing you to win. It's an elusive thing that must be fought for. You can find some instagram videos of my stalemates against the book on my instagram, @Astaraya Anyways, I didn't find the path to victory until I made my friends play it and some of them, the cheaters that they are, flipped to find the page with the winning combination and backtracked. So technically I didn't ""win"" against the book, because I cheated, but whatever, I found the combination. Hahaha. I obviously won't be posting that though. This book is a lot of fun and a whole lot frustrating. Though it was a lot of fun and full of snark, it wasn't the most mind blowing thing in the world. Give it a try. Maybe you can figure out the pathway to victory unlike me."
