Summary: The best I've found for kids
Review: I am a second grade teacher and love to get kids into playing chess. It's fun and has proven benefits for a students behavior and cognitive skills. I have used this program for 7 years (starting my 8th) worth of second graders and my own 5 children. They all have been able to easily follow the directions, understand the concepts and enjoyed Wanda's (The wizard's mischievious wand) antics. My only drawback is that it won't run in XP and I may soon have to find a new program to use. I won't gurantee that every child will fall in love with the game of chess, but any child having an inkling of ambition and desire will find this a fun tool to make the game their own.

Summary: This game is awesome!
Review: I played this game when I was learning how to play chess. It helped me a lot. The wizard guy gives you hints and tips. Now, I like to play it because it is challenging. It has cool sound effects,too. You can play against a friend or the computer. I highly recommend you buy it.
