I have a 12 year old nephew who is interested in chess.  Unfortunately
his school does not have a chess club; it does however have a computer
club.  I'd like to buy him some software that will not only play him but
tutor him in chess.  Ideally it would run under Win95/98, would have
different ability levels, but would also analyze games, suggest moves
and provide lessons on play and strategy.

Unfortunately, my only experience with chess software is my trusty 486
running gnu chess.  The version I have is fairly bare bones and doesn't
provide much instruction.

Any suggestions about good software packages for a novice teenager?

Thanks,

Michael
