    Perfect for 5 year old kids - it's very colourful, fully-voiced and explains concepts in a fun way, with plenty of spaced repetition so children aren't expected to pick things up the very first time. I'm surprised this app doesn't have any reviews as it's an excellent package made with a lot of love and care. The only downside I've noticed is that occasionally the screen becomes unresponsive, but in my experience the issue can be solved by pausing and unpausing. Overall highly recommended!

    One of the levels (bishop inside the castle)is defective and you can't go on from there. Hints don't work either. There a ton of levels that feel drawn out with kindergarten lessons barely related to chess.

    Well designed, leads the kid through step-by-step. Well explained for newcomers. One criticism - it only teaches the moves and basic strategy, no actually gameplay vs the computer.

    The keyboard is not coming up to type the name. Is there a fix for this?

    Love it! My daughter slowly played over a couple years, now at 6.5 years old she is playing full scale games with me. Excellent and very fun app to teach kids to play chess
