Customer Reviews:
 my eight year old is now a chess master, 2008-07-21
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 and when not to, and end game basics.
Sure, some of the storylines are goofy and some of the modules are really just video games that make a minor point, but those things kept him interested in a way a dry, straight-forward walk through would not have.
We found this software to be a great benefit to our chess loving son (now 8 and can beat all his classmates) so we bought the first game (F&C #1) for his younger brother to learn the mechanics.
