best computer based chess tutor (software or web based)

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I am interested in starting my kids with regular chess learning, for 10-20 minutes five days a week, plus participation in a chess club 2x a month.

 

Can you tell me what the best chess teacher is out there (on the computer) for elementary students?  Is there something better than http://chessmagnetschool.com ?

I don't have a chess computer program, so I don't have suggestions on that end. I'm interested in getting one though.

I put both of my kids in a chess club at school for a semester. In the beginning both were very interested and we played regularly on our chess board at home. Over time though, they both lost interest and found chess club repetitive. I was still interested and continued to learn from the lessons at chess club, but the kids got bored. I don't regret encouraging them to learn chess, I believe it helps teach a certain type of thinking that increases school performance. But at this point, I'm interested for myself only.
