5 out of 5 stars great family fun   January 21, 2008

My 8 year old wanted to learn how to play chess! - however I didn't have the time to sit with him every day and play. This 'toy' has answered my prayers. The easiest level frequently lets him win as the computer plays random moves every now and then, thus making 'mistakes' which he loves. He now plays against his action man and toy dog, and so has established a league table. We are not hot chess players but enjoy a game as a bit of family fun. This is an ideal item if you just want to get on and play. It also remembers where all the pieces were if you have to turn it off mid game, and equally if the board gets knocked, just press the button on the side and it will tell you where the piece was placed. - just make sure you notice the difference between a 'C' and a 'G' when it shows in the display. If you are looking at something as a gift then I highly recommend this.


3 out of 5 stars Fun but flawed.   July 10, 2007

It's a suitable size and has 64 levels of play which is good.
However, it would be no good for a complete beginner as neither of the "rules of chess" booklets have rules in English. A major flaw is that it is not possible to put in a position. As a training aid it would be very necessary for it to have this ability. I have had 2 or 3 chess computers of this general type and they could do this.
Overall, no good for total beginner and is very disappointing. Try another machine.

good clear concise instructions, bought this for my daughter age 9 after 2 or 3 games she grasped the basic concept of chess, now plays against the computer so is gaining in knowledge of the game constantly. worth paying for.
