Hi,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I am glad GCompris helped your 
Granddaughter to learn a lot.

You make me realize that our chess activity does not display the name of 
the pieces which is a must. We have to do it in the new version.

For now the best is to use a real chess board to play with your 
Granddaughter. Sorry for that.

Bruno.
