 runs great on new macbook w/ OS 10.5 April 14, 2008

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.

I purchased Fritz and Chesster for my 7 year old son, hoping that he would get a break from Pokemon. Within a week, he was a chess fan! And one morning, my 5 years old daughter who was watching my son practicing with sumo wrestlers the whole time, invited me for a chess match. She had all pieces set up correctly, and she proceeded to teach me how each piece moves! Very accessible training tool.
Great! January 12, 2008

My sons (ages 9 and 5) have loved this! Some times they ask me to help, but mostly they have played on their own. Works on my Mac just fine!

i was sent the wrong version (windows instead of mac) - but the box did say it was mac version. when i phoned customer service i was expecting the run-around. instead, i got a lady named "jen" (foreign accent) that was extremely helpful and polite!! she promptly requested another be sent, and that amazon check inside to make sure that it's the correct version prior to shipping, and sent a return address label to my e-mail address so i would not have to pay for return shipping. i was rather on the fuming side prior to speaking to "jen" - so thankful that i received her on my customer service call!!
