    Sebelum baca bukunya, saya dulu pernah amat penasaran dengan konteks gambar sampulnya: kok maling sempat-sempatnya main catur saat sedang beraksi!?

    Rasa penasaran itu akhirnya terpuaskan setelah membaca cerita tentang si maling, yang ternyata membuat perjanjian duel catur dengan orang yang hendak dirampoknya. Begitulah, selain unsur tebak-tebakan yang mendorong pembacanya untuk memutar otak, Wolfgang Ecke memang handal membuat cerita kriminal dengan premis unik nan jenaka. Selain cerita Saat Maling Main Catur tersebut, saya juga dibuat ngakak beberapa kali oleh narasi murni dialog di David Sang Pemikir dan Kawan-kawannya. Judul yang ini tergolong mudah dari segi tebak-tebakan dan tidak sevariatif beberapa judul lainnya di seri-seri ini, tapi tokoh-tokoh karangan Ecke tetap terasa 'hidup' melalui berbagai kesablengan mereka.

    Ngomong-ngomong.... saya sudah melalap cukup banyak seri Klub Detektif akhir-akhir ini, baik yang dibaca ulang maupun pertama kali. Karena banyak yang saya beli dari lapak buku bekas, halaman daftar isi tiap buku biasanya dipenuhi coret-coretan dari pemilik sebelumnya berupa tanda centang atau lingkaran pada nomor kasus, yang menandakan apakah mereka bisa memecahkan kasusnya atau tidak. Entah kenapa, ada semacam perasaan menyenangkan saat melihat itu... walau penulisnya sudah lama meninggal dan pemilik asli bukunya sudah melepasnya, tetap ada ikatan tersendiri setelah melalui puluhan tahun. Suatu keterhubungan dengan orang-orang yang tak pernah saya lihat maupun kenal, yang muncul karena kesenangan dan keseruan yang sama dalam menebak-nebak jawaban pada kisah detektif.

    Pretty much all the mysteries were terrible and variations of the "Person X said this extra Y thing that he shouldn't have known if he was innocent" or was a terrible picture/description. There were some with highly questionable logic like "a third floor vase wouldn't make a big dent in the car so it must've been the fifth floor one!" or "the third floor person with the light on wouldn't have kept the light on if they wanted to throw the vase". Only the last riddle's second part was one that tripped me up a bit and that was because the last chapter was so fluffed up with extra stuff and skipped around so much that it confused me, but I got all the other mysteries easily.

    Very disappointing for a fan of the author from when I was a kid. Clearly, the quality was different through a child's lenses. Overall, I think there are better "mystery collection" short stories by far. I only forced myself to finish because it was a short read and to see it to the end in case there was a decent mystery/ideas in it. There were not and it wasn't worth it. Horrible mystery book.
