Shifu Play Interactive Chess Board Game - Tacto Chess (Kit + App with 4 Modes) Fun Chess Set for Kids, Beginners, for Kids, Age 6 & Up | Chess Learning Games (Tablet Not Included)

My son got this for Christmas! He loves it! And I love that it’s fun but mainly teaches chess and chess strategies!

I bought this for my 6yrs old kid and she loves it. It provides some learning tools for kid to learn how to play chess. With cute animation in the app, I believe it is interesting enough to keep kid's attention.

Trying for more than an hour to get the app working. It can’t download, and comes with poor network and server access error. It’s safe to say that even with a 100mbps urban connection in the financial district, it can’t connect to its servers.Money flushed down the drain.

Our Tacto chess arrived last weekend and I’m even more impressed than I expected to be. The figurines are a really good size for little hands and seem very well made. The app actually teaches the child how to play chess so no parental knowledge is needed - this was brilliant for me. The themes are great for making the game child friendly. My little one isn’t actually 6 yet and still enjoyed playing it. The only thing to keep in mind for younger children is that there is a little bit of reading, for example ‘your king will be checked’ but I wouldn’t let this put you off getting the app if your child is less than 6. I’m already looking to see which app to get next!

I am so happy with this purchase. My 10 year old knew a little about chess and my 7 year old knew nothing. This was a great game that explains all the rules (no parent knowledge needed) and you can play games with the computer or another person. What I love is that when you pick a piece to move, it shows the potential ways you can move. Would purchase again!
