Knock him the f out.
open Book vs online study
Sort:
I could just throw a chair at him and fight him what would be the purpose next time he tries to argue with me, I'll tell him what I know so far so I can shut his pie hole up.

Well he did get out of prison, so its like understandable. Like I said I'm not looking for a fight just come to play chess that is all.

The guy is unspeakably rude. Saying something like that once, okay, still rude but maybe his people skills are off because he is a pervert who still sleeps with his mother. But to say it every time you come, I'd thank him for his advice and then tell him to bugger off.
Its different for everyone. But i find opening books better than videos. :P
I find reading to me a daunting task, since I'm A.D.D I think videos are very instructive to me and helps me understand better I do have a low comprension level Btw finalunperez I'm still waiting on that game of ours.

I know someone like that. Just tell him to shut it and then start a work regime perhaps using both videos and books. They are both as good as each other.
But what books are good though to advance my knowledge I pretty much got pawn structures down, i know some openings if I wanted I can further look them up online and tactics and strategies are pretty well covered I already know how to study endgames look through grandmaster games

People can only rely on their own experiences. It takes a rather mature (and rare) personality to realize that what has worked for you may not be ideal for others. That said, the guy is still an arse. Sounds like you are dealing with a difficult situation as well as you can. Keep smiling and nodding your head; that seems to be the universal way to deal with someone like him. Of course I never take my own advice so I'd probably just tell him to "f*ck off, arsehole".

Ok I got a question to you all here. I've Been going to my local chess club for awhile now, but there is this guy who started going there everytime I lose and make a bad blunder he'd always comment how bad my game was and criticize how I need to read book to get better. You know I really don't want any trouble and I just ignore him and agree with what he says, But in my mind I think he's totally wrong I believe you can get much out of chess if you watch videos and look articles up its the same type of method. For example my chess had improved before I didn't know how openings worked to knowing what openings are, how pawn structures work and decent endgame study. You see books are sometimes expensive and I don't have time to afford book so I base my study online heck I was able to beat a french players strategy and tactics based on my online study he's like only an 1800 and I'm like 1300 1400 on par so that says a lot.
