Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster review:
5 stars (Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster) - I wanted a game that helped my 6 year old advance his interest in chess and this did the trick. He learned about how the pieces moved, their names, how to write the codes for the moves and had a great time doing it. If you never played chess or just want a game to learn more about strategies and technique - this is it.
5 stars (Learn to Play Chess!) - I really like this computer game because it uses parts-to-whole instruction - it introduces each chess piece separately with an interesting strategy game that teaches how it moves.



Kids have to master the strategy games for each piece before they are given a chance to play with a full board.



But more important than MY impressions are those of my kids - 6 and 8, boy and girl, - who just LOVE this game and cheer each other on. I am thrilled to have them captivated by a "thinking" game. They have generalized their interest in chess to a real board too - they do not just play the game on the computer.



Another note - while I personally enjoy the graphics, they are not sophisticated or realistic, but more like illustrations in a children's book.



Definitely worth the money.
4 stars (A very cool software for kids) - My kids love this program. It's really a fun program.
