One of the things I use it for is 'Big Screen Chess'. While the kids are playing their Ladder competition games, I will load up famous games and set it on auto-play. It gives the kids something to watch while waiting for the next game, and like most things on a screen, they find it fascinating.
I usually go for old games, as they contain a lot of exciting attacks. One example is the following game, played in 1844. As with most games from that era, checkmating is the main strategy. And also like most games from that era, there appears to be multiple versions of the moves. The version given below comes via Chessbase, although the version in Chessmaster has the king dying on h6, after Black sacrifices another rook!

I use a smart board and Sigma Chess to teach chess to my Year 3s. Games and positions are pre-loaded so no time is wasted. It's full screen and immediate.
I also throw in the occasional Kosteniuk "Chess Killer Tips" (look it up) exercise. Going back to a vinyl demo board for a lecture at my club was a pain.
I am not sure where you're getting your information, but great topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding more. Thanks for great information I was looking for this information for my mission.
