get your personal chess trainer

Well the best way to learn and master chess is to have your own personal trainer like an IM or even a GM. Another good option is to use a program called personal chess trainer. It offers hundreds and thousands of exercises within 3 different categories (tactics, endgames and strategy). After a couple of exercises there is a repetition to check and deepen what you have learned. It really helps to train your ability to identify certain patterns on the board and how to exploit these situations.
The free trial of the software lets you exercise 5 units of each category. You should really give it a try and see how it helps your chess.

Have you used this personal trainer thing yourself? Do you thin it really works? What about just reading books and teaching yourself--that's what I've done ...to limited success.

Hi casey jones..welcome to my blog!
do you like the grateful dead !?

about personal chess trainer...yes i use it myself and i find it very useful. i just noticed that the 2007 version has a time limit. try to get a hand on the "old" version 2.0. which has unlimited access and seems to include all units.
reading books is always an option but it depends on the writer. also i rarely take the time to follow the example on a real board - shame on me.

i will have a look at your blog.

btw, were you able to solve the pirate puzzle ?? just curious.
