What Do Chess Players Value The Most?

Dear friends,

I was curious...when it comes to the development of your chess and the game overall: what do you value the most?

• Solving Chess Tactics/Puzzles
• Learning about Chess History
• Developing friendships/comroderie 
• Insight and lessons from your coach or a top level player
• History/creativity behind various kinds of chess sets

What is it? Why do you like chess? What resources keep you actively engaged in developing your craft?

If you could have a few things or opportunities offered to you month after month -- what would you, personally, want.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Erick
