Go up one level in this thread


Definately download the demo.  I highly recommend this program.  There are now 3
different 'flavours' of it, so you may want to also go to www.chess.com/ and
read the descriptions of what this company offers & at what prices.  They seem
to have more instruction written by IM Jeremy Silman, then anyway else, and he
is a terriffic chess writer.  The only thing I think is missing (so far), from
the Chess Mentor stable, is instruction like, 'The Gruenfeld for the tournament
Player', type stuff.  For that you either need books, or perhaps Chess Base.
