My DS used to use Chess Titans to play with a friend of his who has no idea how. The novice player can click and see which moves are available for each piece, whereas the player who knows the game doesn't have to. It sounds like it might be below the level of need for your DS, who could benefit from learning higher level strategies. You're lucky you have opportunities in your area - have you contacted the club administrators for suggestions? They might be able to help.
I also don't have enough experience with the game to help my kids get better. Once they reached and surpassed my level I was pretty much useless.
I'm so sad that my two are past their Chess obsession. DS got a chess set for his 6th birthday and within a few days he and his sister (then 7) were hooked and played daily. I asked the school about a chess club and it had been cancelled (of course). I looked for a local community chess club and there are none in our area (of course). Lots of sports, arts and crafts stuff, but no chess. sigh.
