Has anyone used this software? Is it any good?

If your son is 1800 uscf, then the drills you mention above are
entirely worthless. He is WAY beyond that. Get him a good piece of
software, either Chessmaster or one of the Chessbase programs, do a
little research and maybe let him decide which one he wants.

I would suspect that Chess Vision has more important things than you
describe above. If it doesn't, I would be very surprised. But, once
again, if your son is now an A Class player, it's time to get very
serious if he wants to improve his game.

My son (12 yr old) used it for about a month until he got board of it.

He did master many of the skills - call out a square and he can name the
color, call out any two squares and he can tell if different, call out any
square with a piece and he can tell you what squares that piece attacks.

Not sure if it helped his game though - he has been stuck at 1800 uscf for
more than 6 months.
