Convekta makes some great training software.
Chess Tactics for Beginners is one of my favorites. Its a great training tool for all players under 1000. There are lots
of well designed positions where you must win material or checkmate quickly. It even has positions where the correct move allows
you to force a draw. Going through lots and lots of these problems will be very helpful for any player who wants to improve
rapidly. Highly recommended.
Convekta makes a number of other nice programs. If your child finishes with Chess Tactics for Beginners, they may
wish to go on to Chess Tactics for Intermediate players. For your convenience, you can order directly from Convekta,
