Im not sure if it is still available, but the ChessHouse is giving away TASC for
free. You only have to pay for the shipping. This is how I got my version.

@Farbror: That CD is an english version of a new and improved version of
TASC Chess Tutor, but it covers only Step 01. The original TCT covers Step 1
5.
If youre looking for the old complete and multilangual version, youre looking
for TASC Chess CD 2.
Its the same beginchess refers to.

A humble note:
Dont forget to be always reading games. Exercises are absolutely essential
but your game can become dislocated if you dont keep up a steady uptake
of complete chess games.
