Learn to Play Chess With Fritz & Chesster lets you be king for a day in a world where chess rules!

[..] I have two kids, 7 and 9 y.o., they both loved the game and played it completely. The game helped them also learn chess in a very fun way. Worked great on Mac with OS X Leopard 10.6.2. I buy a lot of educational software, and this is one of the best I've seen so far, although it aims specifically on chess, it does it very well.
I also recommend the No Stress Chess for kids to learn to play chess.  [..] customer review

[..] It's a great game. The kids are learning. And they love it! We've got all sorts of cousins and friends kids and everybody loves this games! I think chess is great for helping kids see things a few steps ahead. So for a kid who may have trouble with planning or thinking sequentially I think chess could potentially really help. First you have to teach them to move the pieces around and accept the rules and this game is great for that. It definitely teaches strategy in a way kids can remember. It gives them words to describe strategies and act them out (on the board and in the yard!)

I specifically got this with an autistic kid in mind and it has been GREAT for him but everybody loves it! I highly recommend the board game "No Stress Chess" as well. These two go great together. As I'm telling the kids, the great thing about chess is that it is played and respected throughout the world so you will never want for a partner.

Oh yes, and it runs great with no problems on the pentium Macbook with OS 10.5. We will be buying the sequel very soon. [..] -- customer review
