A waste of time and money
I agree with reviewer Mr. Dietz. I was eager for my child to learn chess and we bought this new on Amazon for $24.99. Put it in and loaded it in. This game is so confusing and there are no instructions at all. No help menu either. We wasted at least 2 hours on it before I ejected it and apologized to her. There is nothing here to learn chess from.
Fun Way to Learn the Rules of Chess
This software is focused on learning the rules of the game. Movement of different pieces and pawns is demonstrated through an assortment of arcade-type games. There are some decent books for learning chess for beginners, but learning through a computer game program makes it much easier and more fun.^M
go for it kids
I am a chess player myself, so I can endorse this even more. This software is well designed, it can get a little difficult to get to some exercises inside it, but kids can figure it out eventually. My son has improved his play quite a bit even though he takes hints sometimes :), but this is a good software to get the kids started and teach them all the requisite skills to become a chess player
