I am going back to square one.  Here is my plan:

Reread the Complete Idiot's Guide

Keep on with Purdy (who is just wonderful, but I have to keep rereading to make sure I get it.)

Read again Play Winning Chess by Seirawan  ( and also the chapter in Winning Chess Strategies on Pawns.)

Read my new book Predator at the Chessboard, and other Tactics books that I have like Woolman. Also, spend time with the Tactics trainer,Ct-art beginner tactics,  and the new feature on this site called "Workout."

Chessmaster: playing various characters and trying to improve AND working in the "academy" with Josh's training.

That ought to do it for now. I am putting Silman and all my other books on hold and trying to discipline myself to this plan. Just going back to basics for now.

Hope to spend at least 2 to 3 hours a day with this for now.
