Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) December 01, 2013 -- Yamie Chess, the K-8 math learning aid launching on 16th February 2014 at New York Toy Fair, that won the Canada International Film Festival, the Platinum Reel Award at the Nevada International Film Festival, Best Animation at Stella Artois’s Big Apple Film Festival in New York City, and won official selection to Johns Hopkins University, today announces that three internationally respected mathematics Ph.D.s from America’s top universities are publicly backing the company’s first learning aid for children’s math education.
Joined in recommending Yamie Chess by the celebrated American International Master of chess, IM Jeremy Silman who helped to create the Harry Potter chess game (Wizard's Chess) with Harry, Ron and Hermione, in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2001); Harvard University’s Professor Christian Hermann Hesse, Ph.D., whose work as a classical chess expert has been endorsed by former undisputed World Chess Champions Grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik and Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand; MIT’s Professor Michael Ching, Ph.D., a post-graduate honors mathematician and Kennedy Scholar from Trinity College, University of Cambridge; and the University of Chicago’s Professor Ashley Reiter Ahlin, Ph.D. have today all published their in-depth educational recommendations of Yamie Chess: The Adventures of Tigermore and the Mind Angels, on Yamie Chess Ltd’s official company website, strongly recommending the Nevada based company’s K-8 math product line as a valuable tool for K-8 math education.
Yamie Chess, which is the result of a collaborative effort between a group of U.S. math educators, scientists and engineers from MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Columbia and the University of Arizona, and Yamie Chess Ltd’s principal educator, 2-time USA chess champion and Women’s Grandmaster Jennifer Shahade, who is an international chess icon and was recognized by the Smithsonian Institution as the strongest American-born woman chess player of all time, will launch at the American International Toy Fair in New York City on 16th February 2014.
Manufactured in America’s heartland with EPI Printers, Inc. in Battle Creek, Michigan, where the auspicious math learning aid will be warehoused and fulfilled to schools, teachers and parents across the country by UPS, Yamie Chess is unequivocally backed by award-winning mathematics Ph.D.s and international chess experts, who have collectively been published in many dozens of prestigious, refereed international and U.S. math journals, and who have conducted top research for the United States Government's National Science Foundation.
The world renowned chess author, International Master Jeremy Silman, who has published his own in-depth analysis of Yamie Chess on his professional website, JeremySilman.com, remarked: "I highly recommend Yamie Chess: The Adventures of Tigermore & The Mind Angels. A beautifully drawn, deeply conceived, emotionally compelling fantasy adventure....your newfound knowledge of chess will seamlessly blend into math lessons, physics, and moral imperatives. When a child learns how to play chess, adds a lot to his or her science education, and has a wonderful time walking through a rich fantasy world, you can’t go wrong!"
Another of Yamie Chess’s math professionals and contributors to the Yamie Chess math learning aid project is Vanderbilt University math instructor, Patrick Jones, who is a dedicated YouTube math educator. Mr Jones' math teaching video channel, PatrickJMT on YouTube, recently passed the 77 million views milestone. Mr Jones commented: "Yamie Chess provides an interesting weaving of analytical skills through chess instruction and math puzzles all the while being set in a fantastical universe where a child can use his or her imagination to see the world in different ways by uncovering new and interesting ideas."
