My rating is pretty low compared to some responders, and I don't have as much chess experience as you.  But I have been able to guide my son's chess progress to winning his sections at tournaments from the ground up.

 

Here's what I think: there's a slight difference between learning "deep" chess and winning games.  And here's the deal if you only want to win games: when you play a game, usually you get matched to opponents of similar strength; so to win most game, you don't need to be any stronger than what is needed to beat opponents of that strength.

 

worst advice ever...
