Interesting! That sticky thing called Life has put me on a sparse chess diet. I am more or less restricted to 30 minutes of chess per day.
How do you like the Chess Master School?
about 1 year ago
I like it a lot. Unfortunately, I have only been able to complete month 1 even though I have been a member for 2 1/2 months. It has a lot of unique content I have not seen elsewhere. I am also trying out the 7 day trial of betteryourchess.com. It is video centric, and so far so good but chessmaster school has lots more content.
