Why didn’t they have this when I was a kid??

March 01, 2025 - By Message from an excited Adult Learnerfrom Asheville, North Carolina

I’m a retired educator of 40 years experience and as a retiree, I am enjoying going back to address holes in my education. One of those deep holes was never learning chess. The other day I was babysitting for some friends, and their son in the first grade asked me if we could play chess. I I said I would be glad to, but that he would have to teach me. He pulled out the learner’s set from you with the moves marked on the back of the pieces, and we had a wonderful game. I was so inspired, I went back home and ordered two sets, one for me and one for my granddaughter. It is direct experiential learning of the best kind, and I keep the set out on our coffee table to practice moves and continue to learn, as well as playing games with my own family members. We should all be lifelong learners, and this chess set is perfect, non- threatening and appealing in keeping our minds engaged. Thank you for this product! Dr. Gordon Grant

Excellent Chess Set!

January 04, 2025 - By Sue Williamsfrom Darien, IL

What a great chess set! The quality of this set is awesome! Very, very well made, and my six year old great-nephew loves it, and couldn't wait to share his skills with us via video. It teaches them about every facet of the game, and enables the child to grasp the entire concept of chess. Highly recommend this Chess Teacher from Lakeshore!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

My daughter learns chess and wanted to buy this for her friend. It's a fabulous set for beginners - kids and adults, as each piece has a little description of how it can move (to remind you of the rules). This makes it easy to approach and less intimidating.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
