Clarifying such and many other questions about chess surrounded by the story of Prince Fritz, who is substituting his father during his holidays. In a very rude and disrespectful way, just at that moment the chess duel against the Black King arises...and oh! The little Fritz has no idea of how to play... Nevertheless, with the help of the Pintojo King, and encouraged by his brave cousin Bianca and the sewer rat Leo Listo, the little Fritz accepts the challenge and learns to play chess having fun, travelling through different game stations and training in the Neurons Gym. At the end he will not just know the rules of the game of kings, but he will also have been aware of the clues and tricks so he can face the Black King well prepared, capable of showing what he has learned.

Do you remember how you learned to play chess? Maybe it was the typical, classic way: with your grandfather as a teacher that never lost patience? Or maybe in the chess club, in one of those courses given by a somewhat strange but also nice uncle? Perhaps you were a self-taught, who learned with the help of a pocket book? Now ChessBase and the renowned German publishing house Terzio, specialised in software for children, have just published an interactive teaching program to learn and train chess.
