hello,
i have been using this site for about a month now and have worked through a number of the lessons. i have just finished the dragon and now onto the sicilian. the thing is, i work through the lessons but not sure what good it is doing me. there is no real task involved. it seems like basic ideas explained and a little bit of action on my part being where to put a pawn/piece. i am starting to notice things and when i watch videos explaining things i choose the same move in some cases.
are the lessons ordered in some way?
should i be using the "drill" program? i don't see any specific lessons that work with the drills.
