Chess Training: What is a Good Chess Course?
I was asked if there is any good software chess-course that can be used from beginner to expert. Some opinions are as follows:
I have used CT-Art 3.0 and really enjoyed. I know that I am stronger because of it and I will be playing in Sept. in a tournament and hope to do well. It has helped my chess ‘vision’ especially in ICC Blitz play. Enjoy it!
I don’t think you could do better than Chess Tactics Art 3.0
a really great program and well worth the money.
Personally, I like John Coffey’s website at How To Get To 1900 It does not provide the full user friendliness of a software package, but it describes a complete learning path and provides many training exercises from beginner to advanced. Best of all – it is for free.
Chess Mentor is quite good. Go to www.chess.com and download there demo. You get 10 FREE LESSONS to try it out before you buy.
You can also check out ChessOK.com or www.ChessBase.com for their cd’s and/ or DVDs.
It depends what you want and how much time are willing to invest into your improvement.
