Well non sense short message is easier to read than non sense long paragraph!

I reached 2100 only knowing the most basic 1/4th of silman's endgame guide ( you know, the basic reti endgame, the f and h pawn vs queen draw, and other small very modest tecniques. i actually didnt know the basic pawn vs king endgame or key squares or any of that which is embarrassing for a 2100!

 

I did however, use chess engines and some databases for openings, i did have chess opening books when i felt they could tell me of some novelty (thing is, i only  play weird openings, 1.b4 1.b3 and 1.nc3 for white 1.nc6 and 1.b6 agaisnt any of black's replies) so to research some obscure testing lines, i needed all the resources i could get. 

 

I also learned some chess history through the chessmaster program as a kid, so  knew the name and some history of the big names of chess and the name of a lot of openings superficially.

 

Most chess books in my opinion are suboptimal for learning. (aside from endgame studies) especially with the fluid learning of masters with engines nowadays, which resembles more intuitive stream of consciousness pattern recognition coupled with concrete computer lines, then the kind of old school thematic principled breakdown approach. they do have their place though

 

Wow.  That's unusual.

Yes.

But only if you do a lot of mind-altering drugs.

If that isn't your cup of tea, then you better get a library card.

Sorry.
