Winner of the 2003 Bologna New Media Prize, this innovative storybook adventure introduces children to the world of chess with innovative features that make it the best childrens chess tutorial weve reviewed. The original version was in German (by Terzio), and we reviewed a localized version for the USA. The program starts with the story of how King White and his Queen have gone on holiday, and left their son, young Prince Fritz, in charge. But trouble is brewing. A rival, King Black, challenges Fritz to a chess duel. As a novice player, Fritz must seek out some quick brain training, and finds it scattered across the countryside in the form of clever games designed to explain each chess piece, along with common strategies and challenging practice sessions. These exercises are fun to play, and we found ourselves and our testers sticking with the program for hours at a time. One game, for instance, has kids smashing toilets as they learn about diagonal moves. This, of course, rated highly with our kid testers. Minimize

Makes Chess Accessible

by   swipers_mom ,  May 10, 2005
Pros: Makes chess accessible and fun
Cons: Can't jump ahead. This can be annoying.
The Bottom Line: Learning chess has never been so fun.
Review: I purchased this software because my 6 year old son was interested in our chessboard, but I am not a very good player. It has turned out to be a great way to introduce chess to children. Heck, my game has improved dramatically too. The basic premise ...
