Hi Frank, I bought the "Chess Mentor for Advanced Players" package, and thought it was an excellent instructional tool. It gives you informational messages when you make a wrong selection to tell you why it was not the best choice. I also like that you can ask for hints if you need them, so that you can still figure out the answer. And if you miss a question (or don't score high enough based on the time it takes you to answer or whether you needed hints or not), it will randomly pop up again and again until you get it right. I bought the course directly from their web site with no problems. I do have a couple of the Convekta training tools (Strategy and CT-ART). I find the Chess Mentor exercises provide more explanations/information about the move. On the other hand, you can play from both the white and black positions with some of the Convekta tools, and that makes for an interesting way to prevent problems from happening. It really does boil down to a matter to choice, and what you hope to get out of the software. Good luck, Brian
