Hello! I am seeking advice for improving my chess game. I joined this site on Sep 2, 2012. I was terrible at chess I started at around 600 rated. I started taking it as a hobby and playing to win, which got me to a 1100. I am now wanting to take it a little more seriously. I have a chesstempo account which I now use regularly. After light reading and tactics I am at a comfortable 1350. I am looking for suggestions on books, programs, sites, and tips. I will link to my chesstempo account.

BTW the link you gave is useless, it's only for registered members at chesstempo.

sorry about the useless link. I will use the links you gave. Also I should mention I am at a 1500 over a chesstempo. An oddity is that I get most 1600 problems correct but 1400 gives me the most trouble.
