Great For Learning Basic Moves, But Minimal Strategy – Chess Academy for Kids by Geek Kids Review

I taught my son the basics of chess the old fashioned way but wanted help in teaching him some beginning strategy. This app walks you through over 70 lessons in clean, easy to understand language and graphics. But the vast majority of tutorials focus on the basic rules of movement, and only a few lessons address strategy, and just barely. It is definitely worth the purchase price if you are starting from scratch with your child, and you need help teaching the very basics of how the pieces move. And it offers an excellent interface and memory for playing games with your child or against the computer. And kudos for being ad-free and in-app-purchase free. But once the very basics are understood, the educational value of this app maxes out. I wish there were more advanced lessons available as add ons so I could get help teaching basic strategy.
