Software Reviews of Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster 2: Chess in the Black Castle
Customer Review: Great program, however
Summary: 3 Stars
this is a great product, my kids (5 and 7) love it. They have learned a lot from it. All the positives and negatives about F and C from other reviews are spot on.
The only thing I did not see anyone mention was the dialogue itself. I try to be careful with what my kids watch and I was a bit disappointed that this product uses "stupid" "shut-up" "idiot" all words I try to avoid. It is unnecessary and just frankly rude. Comments like these happen pretty frequently between the characters and I cringe every time I hear it. My kids have been told if they repeat what they hear, they cannot play the game anymore so it hasn't been a problem, but I thought I would at least warn parents of younger kids.
Customer Review: Great program
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids are learning chess, and this program does a great job of teaching them basic principles in a way that is accessible and easy to understand. They love it.Customer Review: Good product, but ...
Summary: 4 Stars
My kids love the Fritz and Chester II and it is difficult for me to get them off the computer. But one problem is that they are so addictive to it that they now don't have enough time for their study and piano. The software teaches some good strategies which are good for beginners.
My biggest complaint is that you can not back up the CD because it is encrypted and protected. This means that if you scratch the CD which happens very often, you have to buy new CD.
Customer Review: Great for my child
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product for my 8 year old. He finds it entertaining and the game just comes naturally to him.
Love every aspect of it and would highly recommennd to any parent who would like computer games that really do something for your chid's brain.
Customer Review: Absolutely Terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
This is, without a doubt, by far, the worse software I have ever seen. Perhaps the software had a malfunction, but there was no help key, and no means by which to go from window to another. After 2 hours, we gave up. We had to play a sumo wrestling game, a pac-man type game with a witch, but no chess. This was a chess software program and it was terrible. We never learned one thing about chess. It was ridiculous. My kids much prefer Lego chess to this.
