Customers Say

Customers love the Chess Teacher for its instructional diagrams printed on each piece, making it easy for beginners of all ages to learn chess independently. Parents and grandparents appreciate how it creates quality family time while teaching strategic thinking and problem solving, though some mention the board may not be sturdy enough for younger children. Sturdy pieces with large sizes are easy for small hands to hold and manipulate.

Great First Chess Game for Kids!

This was the perfect introduction to chess for my child. The pieces are easy to recognize, the board is sturdy, and the instructions are simple enough for beginners to follow. It makes learning fun without feeling overwhelming, and I love that it helps build focus and problem-solving skills. Highly recommend as a first step into chess!
