Chess Assistant tutorial products are my favoright this year! I just got the CD, 'Mikhail Tal - 8th World Champion' It is like two programs for the price of one. In 'Play as Tal', you try to practice or test against combinative moment in Tal's games. In 'Tal Games', you play through deeply (sorry, no words, but its ok with me), annottated games of Tal. In fact, I think the CD has every 'serious' game Tal played in his career. Convekta has many excellent tutorial products on their page now: www.chessassistant.com/ Chess Mentor - www.chess.com makes a great tutorial product too, but haven't come out with anything new in guite a while. But if you don't already have this program, it is one of the best. I would have to say though, that it strikes me as not presenting as much 'advanced material', compared to the Convekta products...
