Not sure about online material although chesskids.com is worth a shout I suspect.
How to beat your dad at chess is a phenomenal book for players who know the absolute fundamentals (i.e. Control the centre, develop quickly and get castled, can checkmate with king and rook vs king, know the winning king and pawn vs kings positions). The opera game (morphy vs count Brunswick and count isouard ) is also a good first chess game to go through I think - really strikes home the point about chess being a team game - morphy has less pieces but they are all developed and working as a team, the two consultation partners' rooks etc are still sleeping.
