Guys I need advice. I've always been too busy to learn 'real' chess. So I hover around 1200. My training has been limited to playing lots of correspondence games until I get tired of losing & i retire for a year or two until the bug to play again awakens.
i'm a senior approaching 60 & don't have the patience or time or dedication to study as one should. AND nowadays the amount of training aids is overwhelming. How does one chose? How does one start?
Unless you have a better suggestion, I'd like to invest in 2 training DVDs. Ones of quality that'll help me in tactics, strategy. And the same for end-gaming.
There are so many its confusing. Anyone willing to venture a recommendation that I can absorb?
