With this revolutionary chess teacher, you'll be playing the world's greatest game in no time at all! Unlike any other chess teacher, No Stress Chess® teaches you how to play using illustrated cards and an illustrated 2-sided game board.
Finally, a way to learn to play Chess - The world's greatest game - quickly, excitingly and without stress! The secret? An innovative deck of action cards. Each card depicts a chess piece and how it moves. You move only this piece on your turn. This eliminates the need to memorize all the chess pieces and their moves in advance. And the great news is that after a few turns, you'll instinctively know how to move and capture with your knights and bishops, rooks and pawns, king and queen!
There's more. The game board is two-sided. The first side shows you where to place the pieces to start the game (no guesswork, no stress!) The second side is a standard chessboard. Once you become comfortable with the moves and powers of each chess piece, you can flip the board over, put the deck aside and play chess unaided!
No Stress Chess®, will have you playing "instantly," and learning quickly. Enjoy the satisfaction of playing and enjoying the world's greatest game, thanks to No Stress Chess.

No Stress Chess Game

The other two folks in my household, neither of whom could play chess before, one because of age, the other because of age(?!), now play this version daily, without trouble, and after only a few games of practice. It isn't "chess" but it builds enough understanding that they will play without the cards very soon.

Great Fun and Educational Too!

I originally bought this game for my classroom to help my students develop thinking skills. When it first arrived, I took the game home to figure out how to play it before introducing it to my students--and I was hooked! My own children are ages 10 and 11 and they love the game (we are buying a game for home), but I teach students up to age 18 and they enjoy the game just as much. Educationally, it helps younger students develop a better understanding of spatial relations and planning ahead. For older students (and adults) it helps to develop various strategy skills. Unlike most educational games, the rules are simple and once you've played it through one time (or watched it through one time) all your effort can go into plotting your moves. The game doesn't run out of possibilities, either; every game is different, even if you play with the same people over and over. As an educator, parent, and game enthusiast, this was money well spent.

No Stress Chess by Winning Moves

I wanted my 9 year old to learn how to play chess and the no stress chess game was a good way to start with. Not very expensive (in case he did not like it). The game has cards that tell him what to do and what to move next. The first time we played, we started out with the cards so he would know what he needed to do. By the 3rd game, he did not need the cards. He liked the game so much that we must have played about 10 times that day. It is a good, fun family game.
