My husband and I bought a chess set, and trying to learn how to play it with just a regular set wasn't really working out. I saw this game on goldbox and figured it would be a great way to learn such a complex game. At first, I thought it was going really well. There are good descriptions of what each piece does and a few exercises to practice with each piece. The problem, and the reason for such a low rating, is in the tutorial set-up for some end-game moves. I got stuck on one tutorial and there was no option to give up, hence no way to progress through the rest of the game. I really tried for hours to get through this stage. I think for a game targeted at those 6 and up, there should be a "give-up" or "hint" option when you get stuck.Get more detail about Learn Chess.
