you dont need memberships, just use lichess or youtube channels

if you dont have the money, do it on lichess or chesstempo as i heard they do lots of puzzles/tactics
I'm fine with the cost, thanks for the advice
Anyone have chess book suggestions?

i dont read books, but look at normal channels as they analyze games and give more advice from their experiences

If you are really into the Lessons, then Diamond is a better deal. Unlimited Lessons and also video access. If you must buy a book, then a good book on openings with extensive explanations is a fine purchase. Van der Sterren's FCO (Fundamental Chess Openings) is considered the gold standard. He doesn't go deep (that's what DBs are for), but he will take a paragraph to explain a single move. Have fun!

Silman recommends NOT reading Reassess Your Chess until you have already worked through The Amateur's Mind. Just saying...

So my birthday is coming up and I want to get some chess stuff but I'm not sure what to get. I already have a chess board and pieces and I've decided to get chess platinum membership. I want to get some chess books but I have no clue what book to get. If you have some book suggestions, check my stats to make sure the book is alright for me. I'm dedicating a lot of time towards chess and I'm hoping to get 1400 rating by the end of the year. I appreciate all recommendations. Thanks guys!
