Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve just downloaded Fritz & Chesster. Why is nothing moving?
The aim of the game is to search for hidden objects, which will reveal new sublevels and exciting hidden functions. To get started, click on different parts of the image to find the objects.
Only the first part of Fritz & Chesster is available, and only on iOS. Are you planning to make the other parts available across different platforms (including Android)?
We are! However, porting subsequent levels to new platforms is a long and expensive process. So, we are launching a Kickstarter project to help us raise funds! To support us (and get an exclusive discount), you can register here.
I downloaded the app to my iPhone/iPad, but the sound doesn’t work. Is there a problem?
There shouldn’t be a problem. To turn the sound on, disable the mute function in your phone’s settings menu. Please note that this may not enable all sounds.
Why can’t I get into the Intelligym?
It’s likely you missed out a minigame at the warmup level. Click on the map icon in the upper right corner of the screen, and the minigame you missed will be in black and white.
Complete all minigames on the map (preferably in order) and return to the Intelligym entrance.
I can’t complete the minigame with the horses. Is there a mistake?
There is no mistake. All barriers in the game must be overcome in the order shown, which you can do by jumping over the middle of the barrier.
Try different ways of passing the game and, if it still doesn’t work, write to us.
I didn’t find my question here. What should I do?

What is Fritz & Chesster?

Fritz & Chesster is a series of introductory chess programs for kids aged three and up.
About the Program

The first desktop version of Fritz & Chesster was released in 2002 in Germany, with the original name Fritz & Fertig. Since then, it has captured the imaginations of millions of children and won international awards.

About Us

We are parents and chess enthusiasts, whose kids have come to love chess, too, thanks to the original Fritz & Chesster game. Since we have seen first-hand the positive impact that Fritz & Chesster can have on a child’s development, we decided to bring the program into the modern day. By transporting it to digital devices, we’re hoping to make Fritz & Chesster available to new generations of children.

Benefits for Children

Fritz & Chesster won’t just keep your child occupied. It will also help them to develop crucial skills and could reveal hidden talents at a young age. After just a few weeks, your child will have learned all the rules of chess, including pawn moves, castling rules, stalemate, and more, and will even start to understand the strategies and tactics involved!

"I want more! Works exactly like the PC version I had for my kids. Perfect for children starting to learn how to play chess. One problem remains: WHEN IS FRITZ AND CHESSTER 2 being released?!? My son is done and wants more!"

"Awesome I had Fritz and Chester pt. II when I was younger as a computer game and I loved it, I really hope y’all come out with chess in the black castle on the App Store bc I would love to play it. This game settled my desire to play the second one for a little tho"

"Excellent game for young players! We have had this game for less than a week, and like a previous review, my 8 year-old daughter absolutely loves it. The school my daughter is attending this fall requires all of the children to play chess for 30 minutes or so prior to instruction. I was a little nervous of how to possibly teach her, since I have only played sparingly throughout my life. I know the basic moves, and not much more. Not ever touching a chess piece before, she learned all of the basics of the game in less than 2 days. She played for several hours at a time, and it was hard to get her off the computer."

"Great Program that could use an update. The program introduces chess in a stepwise fashion within the framework of a story involving protagonists (Fritz, Chesster, and Bianca) and their rival the King Black. At each stage, learning is reinforced with a series of rewards and intermediate goals. These rewards keep children enthusiastic and motivated through what can be a very lengthy learning process."

Super fun and helpful

"Many of the reviews claim to have had a lot of problems. I experienced none of those problems. It’s a great game! I used to play it when I was younger and recently redownloaded it for nostalgic purposes. It’s just like I remembered it! Amazingggg"

"Daughter spends quality time on this learning software. She learns without realizing she is learning. She has worked her way through parts one thru three. Won a few chess competitions."
