ChessKid Adventure

Some of the reviews here are surprisingly critical. As far as I can tell this is a really well put together app. It introduces the basics of play through a series of puzzles which build knowledge nicely from the total beginner level. To me they feel like the puzzles which more advanced players use, but aimed at beginners, so the same process of learning to recognise patterns happens. The theme is perfectly suited to under 10s, but the actual play is a good way for adults to learn too.

Abandoned game. It started as a good idea for kids to star playing chess but it's so abandoned that you can only play the 6 adventures they offer you and few bosses. If you want to play further you have to pay some gold membership. But cmon last update was more than a year ago and you still want to get paid for this? At least make it free so can be enoyable. Nothing to say about the online. Several times tried for minutes for nothing. The only good side is the nice visual work and fantasy bosses

Nice concept! For play Vs kid, there should be a rating to track progress (to pair up against more even opponents too). Playing just to win "gold coins" doesn't make sense if improvement is the goal. Not a fan of using gold to unlock instructive content. Perhaps the gold can be used for customizing the avatar? Could be frustrating for a kid that already knows the moves having to play through the first lessons.
