I bought the Chess Mentor CD before joining this site. I have been surprised by the fact that the lessons on this site don't seem to be the same as those on the CD. The hints, etc. on the CD are much more useful. I was under the impression that they were the same product, but it does not seem like it.
I am sorry, I don't have suggestions, but I do empathize.
I find the majority of the time that I read the descriptions I constantly end up playing the wrong moves looking for stuff that fits what theyre asking for. But when I treat it more like tactics trainer and just analyze the position and play what I feel is right without reading what they have to say most of the time I get it right. Its really starting to get irritating and I feel like its preventing me from using the tool to learn. Does anyone else have this issue? Any advice from you higher rated guys?
