Two questions

Sort:

I've got two questions, and if anyone could answer them I'd really appreciate it.

1. Are there any lessons written by GM Josh Waizkin? I read his book on attacking when I was younger and it really helped, so i was wondering if he had written a lesson.

2. Are there any courses that are pretty much, "Hey, here's a position, now find the bet move. It could be a tactic, postitional, or mate. Just find the best move."

Thanks!

#1 Don't know

#2  Jeremy Silman's "Reassess Your Chess Workbook" is a great resource for that.

Ulysses, there is always the Chessmaster DVD which includes many lessons by Josh Waizkin.

1. Waitzkin wrote some lessons in Chessmaster (Windows-only chess software).
2. Ray Cheng's book is a great book about exactly that, but I think it's probably too difficult for you at the moment. I would think a chess.com live standard of at least 1500 would be a sensible minimum to not be too frustrated. I don't know of other similar products that encompass attack, defense, tactics, strategy, opening, middlegame, endgame, etc.
