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...

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...

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...

Absolutely Terrible

This is, without a doubt, by far, the worse software I have ever seen. Perhaps the software had a malfunction, but there was no help key, and no means by which to go from window to another. After 2 hours, we gave up. We had to play a sumo wrestling game, a pac-man type game with a witch, but...

Great art and quirky sensibility

My four-year-old son loved the first Fritz and Chesster so much I just had to get the second. I would have gotten the third installment as well, but it appears to require a DVD-Rom and more up-to-date software than he has on his computer (I suggest you always review those details before buying)....

Exceptional educational software that is fun!

I'm not going to cover the technical drawbacks of this software except to briefly mention that you should look over other reviews before you buy. However, despite annoying design features, this is quite an amazing piece of software! I would certainly rate it a 5+ if there weren't some design...

Fun way to learn basic chess tactics and strategies

Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster 2, continues where the first CD left off. Like the first CD, this program may take some guessing regarding what exactly is one supposed to do, and clicking on the crown in the upper right corner helps to navigate through the game. This program is...
