Creativity in Chess Databases

Hi every one!

Recently was thinking of many obstacles that retard our progress through chess improvement.

These obstacles include: Reading fat books that consume alot of time unless you're serious enough to concentrate on chess as a career which pays back a little for a living later when we become fully independent members of society!

So, I was thinking of methods to improve chess that are less cost-effective and time efficient sources of chess improvement.

These would ideally be part of the chess Mentor, opening explorer, Tactics Trainer, Video Simuls and Lessons!

Besides these, I was thinking if there is audio lesson podcasts about chess for those who have a good visualization and less money to access the above features just incase!

If you know about other creative features which you think off will have a good impact when it comes to improving chess skills and continueing with normal daily activities such as school, and Jobs without interferring with them!

Thanks for reading and Please if you have any ideas, please comment, compliment, if you can!

What's this got to do with Chess Databases?

Garry Kasparov once asked, if one is not going to devote his life to chess, why should he want to improve his game?

The all or none approach?  Seems to dismiss the myriads who enjoy the game not only for it's inherent beauty, but also for the satisfaction of improving at something despit knowing it's something you'll never perfect.

I'm similarly not interested in devoting my life to music or golf, but I'm definitely interested in improving at both.  (OK, maybe not golf....)

That is, one can find enjoyment in practicing chess. But why to improve in chess? There should be some point. Becoming a professional player, beating the neighbours, winning a certain game, who knows? But those don't usually fit in well with the normal daily activities of someone who's not a devoted chess player.
