Sort:
Nobody out there ever tried one of these courses?
I have the Lev Alburt book. Its very good.
If you use the thread search function and punch in "chess courses", you'll get 4 pages of threads all about courses. I remember THIS one; https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/igor-smirnovs-courses-worth-giving-a-try
@GodsPawn: thanks - could you be more specific? How is it good? What did you learn from it? Did it make you significantly better? How long did it take you to work through it?
@Ronald: thanks, I didn't think of trying that
