Grandmaster-level combinations

Possible a suggestion box for other things also?

The exposition of Aaron Nimzowitche's My System book.The chapters over protection,isolated queen pawn,french defense set up,exchanging,invading open files,these would be great to try out concrete examples.Also Capablanca's fundamental themes.The f7 sacrifice,smith mrra gambit positions and danish mating patterns!!

Sierwan-- I would like to see his books "winning chess tactics" & "winning chess strategy" on chess mentor. 

I would like to have a Novice Strategy Course.   Silman's course looks awesome, but way too advanced for novices like me.   

That sounds great. Could you give an idea of when they'll be available?

EDIT: And who the authors are?

i can't wait!!! 

i want to work my way up to Silman's course.

Cheers 

How about something on how to stop screwing up tactics problems.

I am happy to see that a novice level strategy course is on the way! 

Hi!

I think there are som very great lessons in chess mentor. What I am missing do is the conection to the videolessons...

To illustrate my point... There is a great videoseries of rookendgames by mr Rench and there is a chessmentor course in rookendgames but there is no realconection... What if mr Rench during his videolesson stopt at a specific time and stated that the viever shuld do lesson 2 and 3 in that specific chessmentorcours before continuing the videolesson...and so on...

My belife is that the learning experiens shuld be greater and even boost chess.com as a hole!

What do you think mr Dpruess?

Perhaps Analyzing Opening Variations?

David,

   This might not be the place for this comment, however until joining chess.com I have been completely self taught. Many of the mentor problems start with titles like "the Rubenstein version for the catalan" (just made That up) and since I never learned book openings, my moves are constantly met with comments like "good move if this was the scoth, but this is a catalan".

   I don't feel like I learn as much during these lessons because I never learned the opening to begin with. At least on video lessons I can pause and explore the opening main lines. I know there are other places to explore book openings, I spend a lot of time there but perhaps a course on openings should be a pre requisite or addition to the mentor course.

  I feel that sometimes chess.com was built for 1800+ rated players with years of chess education. I just wanted you you to know that there are a few of us who joined the site at about a 1300 level and could use some secondary education before the graduate work begins.

   I think you have a great site and don't want people a little less obsessed than myself to lose interest.

   Sincerely Carl Twoblkaces

P.S.  Oh yeah, a comment section after the lesson would be a good idea. I was so frustrated after Fm Wolski gave us a tactical position, then upon solving it in perfect order asked us to show other wins and began docking points for not playing sub par chess. A place to vent would be nice. Getting discussions going is never a bad thing.
