I don't have a super amount of time, however with time off work I intend to spend 1 hr. a day studying, broken down as follows:

 

30 min. Tactics

15 min. Strategy

15 min. Endgame

Books I am using:

Chess Tactics for Champions

Simple Chess

Silman's Complete Endgame course.

 

 

I don't really have lofty goals for myself other than to enjoy chess and finally understand the phrase "and after 17. Nd5 *insert color of your choices here* is clearly better!"

Well, I understand the phrase but I cannot judge wether it is true or not

Bad role models as a kid maybe! To change team is a no-no! You will have to stick to your team. Even if it is, say, Liverpool.

haha...Liverpool is all I really have now...

And agree with you about changing teams...I'm not a fair weather fan...I've been through 4-12 seasons before and if history prevails, I'll be going through them for about 10 more years...then we'll make the playoffs one year...then straight back to the cesspool....
