That is actually a great idea. I've been struggling a bit too with my son, though he's only 5 so my expectations are quite a bit lower. My strategy has been to always ask him what he thinks I should do now that he's moved. It's slow, but he's starting to see how he's just leaving pieces open to capture. I also make bad moves too and try to encourage him to see the bad move and take advantage.
