It all begins one beautiful summer's day in Strawberry Fields, when eight-year-old Kimi, the American boy math prodigy and chess genius from Queens, New York, falls asleep during a chess match in Central Park, NYC, and dreams that the white king chess piece in his chess game has magically transformed into King Tigermore, the friend he meets in the Yamie Chess School Assistant, when he travels to The Mind Kingdom™, the magical place that can only be reached by going to sleep, under anesthetic, in a hospital operation. Tigermore (the King of Lights) takes his hand, and together the magical duo take to the skies, flying out of New York, down Broadway, above the Empire State Building, past the Statue of Liberty, soaring high through the swirling mists above the Atlantic Ocean, when it starts raining math symbols from the enchanting midnight sky. Lady Liberty's tablet is deliberately blank to represent that the beauty of the American idea, is not defined by a date in history, but by the enduring strength in the hearts of our children, whose futures are yet to be written. An American hero, King Tigermore takes young Kimi back to the Mind Space (called The Mind Kingdom™), as they fly through the sleeping, floating minds that represent everyone's hidden consciousness. They journey back to the beautiful Mind Planet of Snowmelt (a perfect utopia of harmony) in the Yamie Mind Galaxy, where Kimi is reunited with his magical chessy friends, the Mind Angels (Aurora, Belskina and Little Bu), who all represent the classic white chess pieces in the story. (In the educational math comic there is also a secret fourth Mind Angel called Biancàra) But in a thrilling turn of events, our young hero is chased by Vigdor and the Chromemunchers (who represent the black chess pieces on the board), who are dastardly chess baddies, trying to steal the secret to Kimi's chess genius. In the animation, Kimi dreams that King Tigermore and Siberia (the white knight piece) help him escape, by falling through a mind mirror and back to his body in New York, where the dualist interface ends, and he wakes up. Like a modern day Alice in Wonderland, Kimi realizes that it was only a dream, because you can only get to The Mind Kingdom™ by going to sleep under a general anesthetic in a hospital operation! So as he only nodded off, Kimi picks up the white king piece with his hand and plays his next chess move. But was he daydreaming?... Or was it real?... Set in an imaginative cartoon chess universe, where mathematics is king, to inspire young minds; Yamie Chess™ is the K-8 scholastic classic chess explorer for supplementary educational mathematics, logic and science learning, and is designed to be a valuable K-8 math learning aid for children's STEM education, intellectual self-esteem and cognitive development; exploring the French mathematician René Descartes's Mind/Body Dualism.
