Customer Review: runs great on new macbook w/ OS 10.5
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!)

Customer Review: Durable set. Easy to put away/store.
I think this is a very nice set for the price. It’s well constructed and the fact that you can just flip the board over, dump all the pieces in, and fold it in half means even my 9 year old can easily keep it put away when not in use (and not lose pieces). The pieces are smallish, but the description is accurate so you know what you’re getting. I think it’s a very acceptable and well-made first chess set.
