Excellent followup
My son (age 11) has enjoyed learning chess with the previous 2 Fritz and Chesster titles and Chess for Winners is just as good as the others. Where the 1st 2 titles take you through the basics of how to play and basic tactics and strategy this program builds on the basics. I've already noticed an improvement in his play after only a few days of working with this program.

Three in a row
My children have now worked through all three Fritz & Chesster games, and they love them. They are fun, and they do a good job teaching chess fundamentals in a way that engages the child. They are probably on the clunky side for true gamers, but I still highly recommend them.

Great Game
My 7-year-old son loves this game; he is an avid chess player and has 3 Fritz&Chesster games now!
