Hi I'm rated about 2030 at another site and I'm looking for people who are serious about improving Chess to study books with me in call sessions since studying with others might be more enjoyable than doing it alone.

Currently I'm studying the book Reaccess your chess workbook and it's really awesome because the author asks you a short question, you try to answer it based on the position and then he gives a very detailed answer explaining his thoughts. So we can go over the questions together and share our thoughts.

I use ChessVision so that I can just click the diagram and I have a fully functional board loaded up right next to the PDF.

I don't mind more than one person cause we can do a call with multiple people. 

If you're interested we can use Discord to get this started: https://discord.gg/CZyF9R

Cheers.

It does have a section where there's only questions but I prefer to look at the solutions because it contains both and it's easier for the flow of studying. I do that in screen sharing, try to scroll to another area once the question has been read.

Do you mean sharing the screenshots here instead of calling? I think that's copyright infringement and also I prefer to talk to people and discuss it via calls. About the number of problems per session: Personally I'm just focused on chess right now so I have all the time in the world to study, play, analyse, and blog it etc. So it just depends on the other people. I'm writing articles also at my site chesstuts.com

I'm confused because you clearly said screenshot the positions. I only thought of sharing images on this forum pubically is not great legally but screen sharing over a call privately should be completely fine as it's like sharing a book with other people in real life. 

Also I prefer to discuss the thought process during the call, than letting people think on their own. The thought process is actually what matters and where you can improve a lot of your chess from.

Anyway please only reply if you're interested in my initial post.

@Frankfurterstein Thanks for the suggestions but my method of studying works so I'm sticking to it for now. This wasn't a thread about how to improve my way of studying in the first place.

Not sure what you don't get, it's basically calling friend(s) to talk about the position outlined by the book and answer the question together as a group rather than studying alone which is usually more boring. And cmon it's not about obedience so stop trolling here already.
