He writes:
Can anybody advise?I've been playing casually with my boy, who is now nine, for some years and he understands the rules. His school has now set up a chess club to enter a longer-running local league and he has started competing against other local schools every week. He would like to strengthen his game and I fear I'm reaching the limits of what I can teach. I'm not a strong player at all, I hadn't played for years before picking the game up again to play with the boy. Are there any good books or guides for children you know off the top of your head? He has a book called How To Beat Your Dad at Chess, which has been some help.
