Me too. I am playing the tactics trainer though I am slow. I am also doing chess mentor and the videos but I admit I do not have an actual plan. I guess I should be studying some openings ....yes...that's what I'll do...

I just jumped into the water but I found that my tactics skills are basically gone. Maybe its there where I should focus then. Thanks for your reply

The hardest part in coming back to chess is that you still have a strong intuition but not the tactical skills to back it up. So you end up pressing and losing quite needlessly.

The good thing tough is it will eventually get back (hopefully!)..... so far Im just being lucky in my games
Im returning to playing chess since a long retirement. Where I should focus my energy on? Openings, tactics? What area you feel is weakened the most after you are out of chess for a while. 2 aditional points. first sorry about my english is not my native language, secondly the best advice will recieve a virtual pint of beer. thank you.
