My 7-year-old son really enjoys it! - Reviewed on 2008-06-28

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.

tot6al disappointment - Reviewed on 2008-06-05

This is a poorly working program with no instructions or intuitive flow. It would not allow me to bypass its practice regimes which offered no explanations and so were useless and frustrating. It would not allow me to play chess in any mode without graduating from its pre-requisites.After an hour of frustration my five year old asked if we could just go back to the original "board game". I threw the program in the garbage.

good for older kids - Reviewed on 2008-05-13

I would recommend this product for older kids. Not for introducing to younger kids. I find the Dinasour CHess very good for beginners. My 4 year old son really grasped the basic concepts of Chess very well by playing Dinasour chess
