Fritz & Chester - Part 3
Review by Hedinn Steingrimsson
Fritz & Chester came by mail while I was playing the
European Club Championship in Fügen. My team, the Reykjavik Chess Club, ended on
rank 5 to 12. When I came home my wife, who does not play chess, told me that out
of curiosity she had installed Fritz & Chester on her computer and for
several hours had great fun solving the tasks. When she showed me the program, among
other things the tasks she had difficulties with (e.g. blind chess), I saw for myself
that this was a particularly good product.
All components are of high quality. As far as chess is
concerned, important skills – like thinking things through – are taught in a
playful manner which is a lot of fun. The graphics are very good, I particularly
liked the figures on the Ghost Train, for example. The performance of the main
characters Fritz and especially Chester is most excellent, making this product suitable
particularly for girls.
Conclusion: I highly recommend this program.
The program achieves the following:
The CD receives my highest recommendation and 5 out of possible 5 stars.
This is a product made with great care in all components.
It is very suitable for children who want to learn chess and already have some knowledge
(my wife has already ordered Fritz & Chester 1 and 2). From my own
experience I can say that this CD is an interesting present both for children
and adults who don’t know too much about chess (e.g. chessplayers‘ wifes).
