Tell us a bit about you, how you have studied chess, for how long, etc.

Have you watched the videos on this site? If so, which ones did you find easier or difficult to follow? For instance, I like Melik Kachiyan's and Roman Dzindzichashvili's.

Chess Mentor: You haven't used this feature much. Tactics will help you, but Chess Mentor can help your strategic vision, endgames, it can help you use your pawns to attack more efficiently, where and how to place your rooks...

i am going over my internet games turn based the interesting ones . trying to disect my play, i hadnt really did that before. I used to do some tactics on chess tempo but i am doing more here now  thanks for your comment i am open to all suggestions. There is  no otb players in my home town so when i do play otb i travel to stlouis too play.IT is hard not having any one to play otb so all the studying i try too do is by myself which gets very boring and is hard
