Rating:  - my eight year old is now a chess master
I taught my son the basics of chess at 5 and he totally took to it, but I'm not a particularly good player, so I couldn't help him improve his game. So we bought him this software and it did just what we wanted: took him from a beginner with a solid grasp of the mechanics (moves and rules) to an intermediate with an understanding of strategy.
He now understands opening moves, developing the pieces, controlling the center of the board, protecting his king, when to sacrifice pieces ... Read More
Rating:  - Great program, however
this is a great product, my kids (5 and 7) love it. They have learned a lot from it. All the positives and negatives about F and C from other reviews are spot on.
The only thing I did not see anyone mention was the dialogue itself. I try to be careful with what my kids watch and I was a bit disappointed that this product uses "stupid" "shut-up" "idiot" all words I try to avoid. It is unnecessary and just frankly rude. Comments like these happen pretty frequently between the characters ... Read More
Rating: - Great program
My kids are learning chess, and this program does a great job of teaching them basic principles in a way that is accessible and easy to understand. They love it.
Rating: - Good product, but ...
My kids love the Fritz and Chester II and it is difficult for me to get them off the computer. But one problem is that they are so addictive to it that they now don't have enough time for their study and piano. The software teaches some good strategies which are good for beginners.
My biggest complaint is that you can not back up the CD because it is encrypted and protected. This means that if you scratch the CD which happens very often, you have to buy new CD.
Rating: - Great for my child
This is a great product for my 8 year old. He finds it entertaining and the game just comes naturally to him.
Love every aspect of it and would highly recommennd to any parent who would like computer games that really do something for your chid's brain.
