Great! - ★★★★★

This game has gotten my 5 year old interested in chess. Great tutorials that get progressively harder as skills improve.


Great for getting started - ★★★★★

This has been fantastic for my five year old son...using this in addition to a real board and pieces has helped him immensely in understanding each of the pieces, how they move, their strengths and weaknesses...a terrific way to introduce young ones to the game without overwhelming them

I have an adopted 7 year old boy with fetal alcohol syndrome. It is very hard for him to learn to play games. Checkers was very hard for him to learn. I thought that chess would be something that he would have to wait to learn. I bought this app even though there were no reviews. So glad I did! What a great teaching tool! I love the mini games that teach the directions that each piece can move. We play slowly but my son can play chess! I recommend this for anyone who wants to learn the basics of the game. This app is for beginners. Great for kids! Thank you to the developers of this app!

Super! - ★★★★★

Great game, but does not display well

My son (8 yrs old) really likes this game, so would have given it 5 stars had it not been for the display issues. It seems to display too large on the screen, which causes buttons such as "replay" to not be visible. We actually have to shut the game down and start it up again to play a new game. I do not seem to have this problem with any of my other Mac programs, so I would not think that it is a monitor or display setting issue. If the resolution does require that display settings be changed, then I would consider this to be a shortcoming. Not worth my time to change a display setting everytime I want to play a game. That said, it is a testimony to how good it is that we would even bother with the display issues to play it. It is a fun way to get a kid engaged in chess.

Can't see the top buttons.

I bought this game for my 5 year old to satisfy his interest in Chess, but the gameplay is way too difficult! I can't make the AI easier, only decrease the amount of game pieces on the game board - with still the same difficulty. He got discouraged and so did I. The game illustration is also so large; I am assuming it is cutting off the exit button? because I cannot exit to the main menu, only force quit and re-open. I give this game 3 stars, however, because the graphics, sound, and lessons are stimulating to my son... please fix the buttons and add an eaiser AI option and I'll update to 5 stars. Thank You

Still buggy

I can tell that the producers of this app put a lot of time into developing the content. Honestly a lot of the game is really fun and kept my 6 year olds attention. But little details are so buggy that it makes this game unplayable. For example, when doing the training it is literally impossible to move from one level to the next… you have to go back, exit to the main menu and then click on the next level. And when you click on the buttons you need to make sure that you are clicking right in the middle of the button because if you are on the sides, but within the circle, it doesn't register. So frustrating to see that all the effort is down the drain due to such tiny little bugs. All it would take is a few hours of time by a good programmer to make this a great app.
