Customer Review: I forget how I Won, lol
I found the “Adventure” feature of this game simply irresistable and I took a total of about 12 hours to defeat all of the levels. It honestly was an enjoyable adventure. I saved my files and can insert them into the program files for this program, if it is installed on any computer, to allow going to any level, but I am frustrated that I cannot figure out how I managed to beat the Chapter 7 Dragons Land “Memorial to the Eagles” quiz where you have to re construct the position as it would have been 2 moves earlier. But I do remember that it took me a lot of time to crack the riddle. If anyone can tell me just that one answer I will return the favor by emailing them the programs files that I have which work like a cheat key to go to any level. There are no cheat codes available that I know of.

Chess Tactics for Champions: A step-by-step guide to using tactics and combinations the Polgar way (Chess) Susan Polgar became the first female Grandmaster at age 15—and it wasn’t luck that got her there. Her use of tactics, combinations, and strategy during her games gave her the critical advantage she needed against her opponents. In Chess Tactics for Champions, Polgar gives insight into the kind of thinking that chess champions rely on while playing the game, specifically the ability to recognize patterns and combinations. With coauthor Paul Truong, Susan Polgar teaches the tactics she learned from her father, Laszlo Polgar, one of the world’s best chess coaches.

Deluxe Wooden Chess, Checkers & Backgammon Set (Oak) This excellent chess, checkers and backgammon set is made for all-in-one fun! Make your next game a winner! Includes solid wood case, game pieces and dice. Measures approximately 16″ x 8″.
Customer Review: Surprisingly bad workmanship!
Having just received this as a gift from my stepdaughter for Father’s Day (which I coordinated with my wife based on the other reviews here), I am especially disappointed at the horrific quality. The pieces are so poorly made that they are tilting, wobbly, and easily fall over on their own during play. Some of the pieces were cut haphazardly and the black King tilts like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It would be funny and a no-brainer to simply return if it weren’t for the shock after the positive reviews. It makes me suspect that the other reviews are placed by people at the company who makes this item. Hate to say it, but this set is crap and absolutely NOT worth the money. And I think the reviews are quite possibly placed by shills, not actual customers. Junk, junk, junk.
Customer Review: Deluxe Wooden Chess,Checkers &Backgammon Set (Oak
I am very pleased with the Chess, Checkers & backgammon set I received. It was as advertised, solid wood and very nicely finished. So different from the sets found in many toy stores which are cardboard covered with vinyl to simulate wood. The only criticism I would make is that the checker pieces could be larger for greater ease in handling for persons with poor co-ordination. I’m sure it will give us many years of enjoyment and was well worth the price.

Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster Learn to Play Chess With Fritz&Chesster lets you be king for a day in a world where chess rules!
Customer Review: tot6al disappointment
This is a poorly working program with no instructions or intuitive flow. It would not allow me to bypass its practice regimes which offered no explanations and so were useless and frustrating. It would not allow me to play chess in any mode without graduating from its pre-requisites.After an hour of frustration my five year old asked if we could just go back to the original “board game”. I threw the program in the garbage.
Customer Review: good for older kids
I would recommend this product for older kids. Not for introducing to younger kids. I find the Dinasour CHess very good for beginners. My 4 year old son really grasped the basic concepts of Chess very well by playing Dinasour chess

Carrom Magnetic Travel Chess Set Enjoy your favorite game anywhere. Magnetic pieces keep your game secure on bumpy airplane rides or on uneven surfaces. No slip, no slide.
Customer Review: a great thing, but don’t leave it in the car!
I love chess, and have been a student of the game since I was 10, collecting numerous chess books, sets, computers, etc. I should be a grandmaster by now, but how many people have the time for that. My father-in-law gave me this Drueke set as a present. Very nice. I do find the proportions of the pieces to be a bit strange, but the magnets are by far the best ones I’ve ever seen in a magnetic set. I left this in the car recently during a hot spell, and the plastic case has melted. The board itself didn’t melt, so from the outside it looks like a Salvador Dali object. I’ll probably replace it, as I feel bad about letting it melt.
Customer Review: Better than other options
I got this set to play chess with my son. Over all I like the it, but there are many little tweaks in design that could have made it great. The board is rather large to store. This isn’t a pocket chess set. Since they are all the same height it’s difficult sometimes to tell a pawn from a bishop. The pieces are close to the same size as the squares and the magnets tend to attract as you move around the board.

Deluxe Wood Chess Set A beautiful set for beginning or experienced Chess lovers, includes Inlaid wood chess board. Pieces including 3.5H” kings. Board is 16×16.
Customer Review: A decent chess set
This set is OK. The board, is 14 3/4 inches square. It looks nice when it is open, but doesn’t close completely even when latched (there is about a 1/8 inch gap on one side.) This may just be a problem with the one I got, but it bugs me a little. What bugs me alot is that the elastic that holds the pieces in place on the inside broke after about the 4th time it was used. Now 3 of the pieces are always loose inside when the set is closed.
