I agree, regular Fritz can surprise you now and then :) I bought F & C six months ago and the kids have had fun with the program. The storyline and game style puzzles (directly related to chess piece themes) are a good way for the kids to get a feel for the principles while having fun. As was stated in the advertising I read, the kids enjoyed playing the program without my prompting and improved their chess game at the same time. No reason not to recommend this program. My kids have already made my purchase worthwhile. George
