Fritz & Chesster has been around for almost 20 years: thousands of children all over the world have learned to play chess with this smart, funny and internationally award-winning program. In an exciting adventure story, children learn all the rules of chess and many tactical motifs, step by step together with Prince Fritz and his cousin Bianca: Where are the pieces? What is stalemate and draw? What does opposition mean? And how does the back-rank mate work? All exercises are integrated into fun games and interactive training modules.

In this unusual chess adventure, children playfully learn everything they need to know for their first game of chess. Those who have acquired enough gumption can in the end compete with Fritz in the grand finale against King Black! Recommended for ages six and up.

In addition to episode one with the basics, two further episodes convey in-depth chess knowledge: "Chess in the Black Castle" and "Chess for Winners" offer many didactically high-quality training modules. Children learn by playing, acquiring extensive chess knowledge and always have having fun.

The series was developed by the authors and graphic designers Jörg Hilbert and Björn Lengwenus. The latter is an award-winning experienced youth chess trainer and school headmaster in Hamburg.
