I am keen to have my 6 year old son play chess against a computer
oppenent but even with one level of lookahead he gets beaten and tends
to find this too demoralising.

Does anyone know of a program which plays poor, but legal, chess so that
it can be beaten by anyone at least some of the time ?

I guess a random move every alternate move would work fine.
