Software Reviews of Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster 2: Chess in the Black Castle

Customer Review: Great game - audio glitches
Summary: 4 Stars

Learn to play chess with Fritz and Chester 1 and 2 are both great games to learn chess. It captures the kids attention with little games and teaches them how to use the pieces (in #1) and some strategy (in #2). My 8 year old loves the games and even my 5 year old started playing some of the games in # 1. The only problem - both of my games have audio glitches (they are made in Germany and it seems that something has gone wrong with the sound in our english versions) - however my kids don't seems to mind.
