Any suggestions for the best options to >teach a pretty novice player but that also have room to really grow? Hello welcome and simply??!! Buy Chessmaster 9000 or 8000 or 7000 at some places the software is available very inexpensively. I will not preach about how to live in a small town...geez.. simply these programs have "personalities" that you can select , all the way from very weak beginners to Grandmaster type personalities. They also have excellent , easy to follow tutorials about various aspects of the game. Although there are stronger (not much) chess programs out there, this is easily one of the best if not the best for someone learning the game. P.S. At the highest levels it plays at the grandmaster levels. Hope this helps, and pardon this board these are mostly advanced chess computer folks who live cerebrally in a different hemisphere and possibly cannot comprehend what a beginner has to deal with.
