So I figure I would blog about my overall use of these study plans as a premium diamond member here on chess.com 

I was eagerly awaiting to unlock the full features of this website and using these study plans. It goes with out saying.

It has everythig I been looking for under one spot and is lay oud nicely. I been styding through them 5-6 days per week. Waking up early to go through them and also at night for an hr. 

I been improving greatly in my correspondence  chess games was a 1250 before and went up to 1450 roughly in 6 weeks. Also I been getting used to LIVE CHESS Standard. I only believed that blitz games were as good as the real thing OTB long games. Boy I was so mistaken. I am now almost 1400 rating. I play only 1-2 of these games daily due to the time of them. My blitz ratings have suffered but they will go up as I improve. 

All in all I have seen the effort putting into these study plans paying off. Not only doing the study plans, tactic trainer, video lesson, + chess mentor add to my entire chess knowledge. 

I just wanted to say thank you CHESS.COM for providing these amazing study plans for doing all the hard work and letting us just dig into it! 

Well said! I really love the videos, you can stop it, go back etc. I have to watch the same video several times for it to sink in. Wish this was here when I was younger!
