I'm with you on the tactics trainer leading to boredom. I can do maybe thirty in a row, then I get tired with it. I do Chess Mentor maybe once a week - not as often as I should. I enjoy the videos the most (Shankland and Rensche also being some of my favorites, along with Khachiyan). I also use the Game Explorer tons to really get my openings down. I consider openings the best part of my game.
How do you use chess.com?

I haven't a clue why my text is surrounded by a white box. But it looks cool!
I was just wondering if anyone wanted to share how they use this site.
I mostly follow the videos of Gallofre Shanklin and Rensche trying to follow up on a few ideas they make videos about. I try the game explorer to find variations on a queen pawn opening for white games and a Sicillian for black games.
I don't really know how to systematically use the chess mentor. I am having difficulty finding the right level.
I could stand some tactics training but I get bored easily doing that.
What do you like to do on the site?
