Tough question to answer! Some of the module's, especially the one's by silman
about tactics, and play of the World Champions are excellent high quality study
material, with a very good amount of anticipated questions answered, and
historic material presented.  I have bought it (The different module's), from
the beginning, and so didn't notice so much the price, that while reasonable,
really adds up over $300.00 or more for the best stuff.

An interesting competitive product (benificial for players' over 1800), is
Convektas's, Chess Strategy, Studies, and Chess Middlegam Encyclopedia (don't
believe KK's complete pan of this one, while all programs have bugs & missing
features, it has a lot to offer for its price).  All three are currently
available for just under $100.00  I give it a mrslug gold medel for best
instructional material available, under $100.00!
