Additional resources for individual study that I have discovered in the last two years include the following:
lichess.org (for playing and studying, they have free unlimited tactics. Excellent for analyzing one's games).
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6hOVYvNn79Sl1Fc1vx2mYA The channel of IM John Bartholomew. He does excellent analysis videos, solves tactics while talking about his thought process and even has videos of him playing live speed chess with ongoing explanation of how he makes decisions during games.
chessable.com For learning opening and endgame theory. A very useful study tool. It is free to sign up and I have used it to learn some new opening lines.
I can also recommend a number of chess books to those interested in checking out a library or maybe purchasing some books.
Hello, all! I was planning on using this forum space to post links to online resources that I have found helpful in my personal chess study. If you have links to share, feel free to leave them here :)
On youtube I highly recommend the following for a start:
https://www.youtube.com/user/STLChessClub
https://www.youtube.com/user/wwwChesscom
https://www.youtube.com/user/Chessexplained
And for opening-specific research I recommend the following databases:
Chessgames.com
Chess.com (under "Learn")
Chesstempo.com (under "Chess Database")
For free tactics training:
Chesstempo.com (you can make an account to track your progress and get harder puzzles, but even if you just do tactics as a guest you get very interesting, albeit steady- difficulty positions to solve).
http://chess.emrald.net/ This one is also ok, but the interface is less user-friendly, I have found.
And, of course, chess.com, though you get only a limited number of puzzles per day unless you have a paid membership (which I used to have). Still, a good tactics trainer on this site.
