I have been using Sargon IV to teach chess to little kids, around 4 yrs old. Sargon has some features for kids that are not present in the other packages. For example in sargon, they enjoy the chess pieces with the big noses and generally funny faces. Now this might not seem important, but to keep little kids interest up, it helps a lot. Four year olds have no problem with the user interface, which is a big, big block for them to get over. Any way, for teaching kids chess, I think Sargon is excellent, in that it does not distract them with to much silliness, like battle chess, etc.., while still giving them some fun. If any one else has some comments about teaching kids chess with computers, send it to me, I need the help. P L Faith
