Spin Master Games, Chess Made Simple, Learn to Play Strategy Board Games for Beginners, Chess, 2 Players, for Kids Ages 8 & Up

Husband and 9 yr old son love this set! They are learning how to play chess! They loved the cards that explained each type of piece, how it could move, what it could and could not do. Those were very helpful. The other cards were not bad, but not as helpful to them. Would definitely recommend to someone who has never played before!

For this for my son to learn chess and both board and cards were so helpful. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn

Wonderful set. We love how it helps tea h those who dont know how to play, but also works Wonderful for those who already know how. Its also makes it easy for someone who knows to be able to play with someone who doesn't know. Amazing set.

I am completely satisfied with this product. My young ones learned fast and easily with this product.

Great teaching game

Game is excellent. Board is sturdy. Pieces are plastic but good quality, they comes with an additional piece that shows the moves of the pieces (for beginners). Also, the game comes with cards that explains the names of the pieces and how they move. This is ideal for kids. The package is compact and easy to transport so, you can bring this game with you to your trips. Pieces has good size. My daughter loved the game and the instructions that came with made the difference. Highly recommended.

This game makes teaching chess so simple and fun. The board clearly shows where to place pieces, and the button pieces are genius—they show exactly how each one moves. I’ve taught multiple people with almost no effort and way less repeating myself. It takes all the pressure out of learning and makes it approachable for beginners. Definitely worth spending a little more for something that’s fun, effective, and frustration-free.

I love it. This is a great way to invite a moment of brain exercise, the one who know the game plays and the one who doesn’t learn. Great for unplugged times.

I love this set so much. My kids love the cards, the pieces look great, and the box is well designed so it's a fun experience to open it and set it up. Here are a few things to know though (none of which bothered me at all): - The board is made out of regular board game material and it folds into a square with creases just like any board game. - The bases of the pieces can be tight and difficult to take off. - The pieces seem a bit short and light without the bases, so I'm leaving them on even though I know how the pieces move. - The cards go beyond the basic moves and give some puzzles and tips. Nothing that can't be found online but it's kind of cool to read the little facts and tips. - In my opinion, the side with where the pieces go is distracting and not required. My 5 year old learned quickly the starting position of the pieces. I think it would be better to have a card with a picture of the start position and have the second side a different colour scheme instead.

Bought for my 5 year old grandson and a great way to teach him and his parents how to play.

Fun to play

Purchased for my children in hopes of giving them something other than video games. It arrived on a Monday, I set it up and started teaching them names of pieces, how to place them and basic moves. I am no master at the game in any way. By Wednesday they were beating me at the game! They were also correcting me on some things I had forgotten. Like the pawn can move twice on first move... This board comes with everything you need to learn how to play chess. It is a great way to introduce chess to your family. You never know, it might just become a new favourite pastime and great way to connect with your children as you play and learn together.

My 8 year old nephew loves this chess set & the adults his life are also learning to play as well
