I liked this book because it was a good mystery and I learned some things about chess too! My mom read Nancy Drew books when she was my age (11) and now I'm also starting to like them a lot. Besides Nancy, George and Bess, the other characters are interesting as well. If you like mysteries, you'll like Nancy Drew!

It's this story of a chess compitition and Greta's little sister gets kidnapped and Greata must win in order to see her alive. The other girl, donna all kinds of starnage things happpen. but Nancy and Donna get attacked in the park. Who will win? Will Anna survive?

This book taught me so much stuff about Chess. I suggest you read this book. It has suspense and teaches some stuff about Chess. Its a very, very, very good book!

We really liked this Nancy Drew book- it had lot's of suspence. I didn't think I would like it at first but once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. My friend is reading it now. We wish Carolyn Keene would write more Dana Girls mystery books- they are good too.

This story combines two of my passions, chess and who-done-its. The world's two leading junior chess players, Donna Winston and Greta van Leeuwen, are the favorites in a 64-player junior championship, but the tournament is marred by mysterious telephone threats and anonymous messages aimed at both contenders. Nancy Drew is assigned the task of unraveling the mystery in time to save the final-round match between the favorites. The excitement never stops. It is especially gratifying that most of the leading characters, including three of the four tournament finalists, are women, even in the traditionally male-dominated field of chess. This story should help to overcome some stereotypes, but its main value is superb entertainment.

Nancy friend is the top chess player in the world and her have to face other kids to win the match but it is a piece of cake but not for another girl that her sister is kidnapp and she will never see her again unless she drops out of the chess. And Nancy Drew will solve this mystery until her sister is safe .
