My 7-year-old son really enjoys it!
I recently bought this for my son's seventh birthday. He has tried it out, and he enjoys it. I am pleased with the purchase.
Alsolute good program for young beginner
My young one don't want to get off from game until I have to drag him away. It's aboslute good program for the beginner.
simply the best
There just is not anything else out there that teaches chess to kids so nicely!
Bad Language and Poor Sportsmanship
I bought this game 3 years ago for my son (now 8) and he loved it. I didn't like the language- they say "stupid" quite a bit. And I didn't like the way the characters make fun of you if you don't do well. And I didn't like how there are movie-type scenes that they have to watch to get to the next game. You can't skip over these. But he loved it and it did teach him basic chess skills. However, the game ONLY works if the CD is in the computer. After about a year, the CD got scratched and stopped working. Eventually, I decided to purchase LtPC 2 (see my even lower review for that!) for my son and to purchase this game again for my daughter, age 5. She will only play 2 or 3 of the games because she finds it so upsetting the way the characters make fun of her if she doesn't do well. My daughter is a spunky girl who has no trouble standing up for herself so it must be quite upsetting for her to not want to play the game. I'm fed up with these games. I work hard to teach my children to have good character, good sportsmanship and good communication skills. I don't need that compromised by a poorly executed video game.
Unable to use
I purchased two of your video games through Amazon.com for Christmas presents and recently tried using them. I am very disappointed in their performance!
"Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster #1" stops soon after the King's son is challenged to a duel by Black Knight. The last phrase that can be heard is: "Is something going to happen here before we all fall asleep?"
"Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster #2" doesn't get beyond signing in. It keeps saying, no matter name I write in, "You're not the first to bear this name, please choose another name..."
I tried removing the programs and re-installing them again and I even tried using a different laptop.
What is the problem and how can it be resolved?
