Board is printed wrong. A8 should be a white square.

This board labels A1 as a light square and the booklet consistently shows black playing from the A1 side of the board. Official chess rules make A1 a dark square, putting a light square to both players' right ("light is right"), and white plays from the A1 side of the board. This set is deeply flawed.

I love the size and quality of the pieces. Also explanation of moves pwr pieces but the board is printed wrong the white pawns start on the number one side, and white queen is always on white . So in order to have the white queen on white you start on the wrong side so the letters and numbers would not be correct. This might not be to big of a deal for regular kids. But adults who actually play amd kids on the spectrum who know better....it is not ideal lol

Love this game for my 8 and 10 year old. Play can start at a basic level and progress as they learn more about how to play. The instruction booklet clearly lays out the different levels and what pieces are needed. This product was given to me in exchange for my honest review.
Awesome!

This product was given to me in an exchange for a review. I have a 4 and 6 year old, and this was absolutely perfect for teaching both kids how to play. The instructions were super clear, and we loved the different levels of learning. I would highly recommend this product to others!

I received this product in exchange for a review. First of all, I love the colors used on the packaging and game itself! The fun bright colors make chess seem less intimidating to try - traditional chess boards are so stuffy and serious! The quality is also really nice - so many games today are flimsy, but I'm not concerned that my young son will destroy this game as he does with many others...... Lastly, I really appreciare the levels. I know how to play checkers, but never learned how to play chess. The instructions/game play make learning alongside my 6YO really fun! I don't love it when he beats me though :) Great family game!

I purchased the other Family First dominoe game and loved it so much we bought this one too. I like the high quality pieces and game board - for $15 this is an amazing value. My 9 year old quickly learned how to play checkers with this game and is now legitimately close to beating me in a match. We plan to learn chess together as I don't know how to play but from the game instructions it doesn't feel so intimidating.
Great Game for Learners of all Levels!

I am a second grade teacher and I was gifted this game in exchange for a review. I tried this game out with my 6 year old cousin and was so impressed with the range this game board allowed for. The game's design with different levels of difficulty and instructions for using skills in the game allows for a person of any age to play. This will be a great resource for my classroom!
Great game for kids.

I received this game in exchange for a review. My 10 year old son loves it. It's compact so easy to bring places. I love the use of bright colors on both boards. It folds up nicely and all the pieces have a spot to go in the box.

I have 4 boys (9-13) who all have played chess since they were little. This game would have been SO fantastic when they were learning then. The pieces are sturdy, heavier and bigger than I was anticipating. They don't slide around or move easily. They would be great for littles learning the game. This was given to me in exchange for a review, but I would definitely buy as the intro to chess for any kiddo!
Great for Learning!

We spent some time playing with nieces, ages 8-10 and they loved it. While chess was a bit slower to learn, having the pictures to assist with the routes each piece could take was SUPER helpful in reminding them what options they had - plus we didn't have to continue to nag with 'you can't do that' the whole game. We received this game in exchange for a review, but honestly it was so helpful (even for reminding me how to play).
Love it!

This product was given to me in an exchange for a review. I have a 6 year old who loves chess, so when I brought this home he was super excited to play it right away. When we opened it, it was very easy to get out and set up. The quality seemed very good. I do like that the insert plastic is molded to the pieces so we can put back nicely. Overall a great fun game! Look forward to doing the checkers piece.
My son LOVES chess!

My 7 year old son loves chess and we were able to recieve this game in exchange for a review and had a blast! The quality is great and different levels of play allow for younger ages to learn as well! My 6 year old daughter also likes chess, but loved the checkers more! It's great having 2 game optoins in 1 box!
Great for any age!

I received this product in exchange for a review. I played this with my family of adults and had a great time! The product was well made and we discussed how nice it would be to have this as I grew up. The instructions were easy to follow and the organization of the box made it easy to put back in after being done playing. It will be great to have this as our game set as we start to grow our family as well!
