Post your Learning Setup
Sort:
Some people just read a book and move pieces on the board or just use their smart phone. So why not show what setup works best for improving your game?
I use the computer and the board, but I am willing to but an iPad for this purpose too

I do all of my studying on my computer. I have two monitors flanking my laptop. I typically play out all the moves in any book I read in Chessbase and try to analyze all of the variations in my head. When I encounter something I don't understand and can't riddle it out on my own, I turn on Stockfish.
Oh my goodness, @stumOnner, all those BCE. droool
Stum is on a ‘whole nother level’

My study setup is the following:
DGT wooden board connected to an Android device where Acid Ape Chess is running.
Paper book next to it.

Yah
My learning/studying setup can be just about anything I´m using in the moment except my smartphone. I grew up in an age when most newspapers actually were papers and had a weekly (at least) chess column that i studied with or without a board. I remember well following the match in Reykjavik between Spassky and Fischer via the reports in Svenska Dagbladet. When it began we were still at the familys summer cottage where I had an old (from the 19th century) chesset and often played through the latest game at night since the evenings were spent fishing.
Now I often use my laptop but beeing an old fart I often as not use a book (a real or a pdf one) and a chess set. I have no dedicated "chess den" or "cave". I find some youtube videos helpful but watching rapid and blitz games just makes me dizzy. Also when watching games in classical time control there´s a bit to much analyzing and commenting for my taste. Recently I followed some of Anna Cramlings games in Rilton Cup but had to mute Pia. AC/PC are allright but can induce a headache...
