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

This game is easy to use to while learning and has improved my skills with the cards and bases. Highly recommended if trying to learn the rules to play. It is a great gift for someone who wants to learn how to play.

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.

I ordered this chess set to teach my almost 4 year old how to play. He’s been interested, which I thought was great. He put the pieces together, set up our board, and we walked through some of the rules. I also love that the board has images of where the pieces go on one side. There are no cons. I’ve already suggested this set for some of our friends who have children who also want to learn.

Fun to play
