If you're serious about your chess spending $100 on diamond membership will give you access to the ChessMentor with its' 4K lessons on all things chess. Some really well done courses with generous explanations not only of the correct answer but why what you tried was wrong when you don't get the answer immediately. 15/10 is better than blitz but isn't exactly slow chess. If you're trying to get an opening repertoire going it might not be a bad idea to try correspondence chess (online in Erikspeak) which is open book. And of course if you want to get back into competition chess, then you need to practice at that time control. The Dan Heisman Learning Center group has about 4k members which makes it easier to find a slow time control game; lots of tournaments as well. NM Aww-Rats also has a popular group that plays slow chess. Have fun!
First off, I am sure this has been asked hundreds of times on many different forums and I do apolagize. However a lot of these posts have died off so I can't ask any questions on them!
I have started to get back into chess (yesterday) after several years of not playing. I use too play for my county back in school, but that was about 6 years ago. I really want to get back into competitve playing, but there are so many books and so many suggested routes to take, I have no idea where too start!
What do you guys recommend, as a kind of timetable or what have you, that I should stick too to see the most effective improvement of my game play? Having not played in so long I am currently on a 5W-8L-1D record.
I know my biggest issues is rushing the play, even though I play 15-10 games, which I am trying to focus on.
Cheers guys :)
