So I have been searching the forums and can't find an answer to this question so I was hoping someone on here might have some thoughts. My question is if I have $300ish bucks to spend to improve my game would I be better off buying a chess software like chessbase and then playing online free through chess.com or its competitors or would I be better off buying an electronic chessboard like the millennium Performance King and using Scid vs PC for free? To be clear I'm not asking about the legality of using a real chessboard for an online game, which many of these OTB chess online strings tend to devolve. I just want to know where I will get the best bang for my buck and why (Performance King vs Chessbase or Fritz)? Thanks!
