Grandmother's comments [Posted on 2007-01-09]
My daughter-in-law was a 4th grade teacher. She has two masters and needs 5 credits for her doctorate but she now has my three grandchildren The oldest was six 10/28/06 and the mother asked me to buy this product for her. I am sure they are very happy with it.

Who cares if it's "flimsy" or doesn't give the values? It's for beginners - 6,7,8 year olds. I think it's harder to remember how they move than what they're worth. And if the set only lasts for a year or two, so what? By then they know how to play and they buy a "real" set. Sheesh.
Good for learning but not for long [Posted on 2007-12-19]
The set like this I learned on as a kid was a much more sturdy set with solid pieces. This was great for when my son was 2 1/2 and learning, because it is very visual. The board is cheap and with the pieces being a bit oversized they will not sit well on some other cheap chess boards. The board only lasted for about six months of play before it was trashed. I would recommend for the beginner. We moved to a trounament quality chess board when my son turned 5 and joined his school's chess team. Those sets run about the same price as this one. We still have the this set for friends and family who don't know chess well, to use when they play him.

My son is six and caught on very quick to the game of chess. Makes it very easy to learn and remember which pieces can go where. Love it.

I bought this for my 6 year old grandson for Christmas. He likes to play chess with his grandpa. This is a great learning tool.
