Best way to Study?

Hi there, I posted this in the general chess discussion but it's full of spam posts :(

This is my post:

 I dedicate around 2 hours a day to chess and I want to get the best out of it, I was up to two days ago doing this:

Plan 1

Go through an annotated game (by Irving Chernev) and try and guess each move, recording the moves guessed and those not guessed. I do not go through Chernev's annotations until I've gone through all the game alone.

After a week of doing plan 1, it became boring, there was this game were I was guessing very little and I just flipped.

I am now thinking of the following plan:

Plan 2

Play a 15 minute game on chess.com, analise it on the engine, log down all mistakes. This takes an hour, the remaining time is spent doing plan 1 above, I was thinking of timing the time I take to guess the moves

So what is your opinion on the above? Feel free to come up with a completely different plan.

Thanks!

Those are both great ideas, but throw in an hour of tactics somewhere. There are many great websites and books full of quick tactical puzzles to solve. The reason most people will tell you to do this is that tactics alone can get you very far along, much more so than any other facet of chess.

thanks, will keep that in mind

well, i would try to find you weak point then work on it like for example, i cant plan very well so i go onto chess mentor and practice

Latly I have being playing the computer on chess.com, on the hardest level. Around 10 minutes per game.

I am not sure if my game is improving at all, too early to tell. At the begining it kills me on the opening, now I feel I am making it to the midle game.

At this moment I am not really so much impress by tactical training.
