Sure, kick your membership up to diamond and hammer out a few thousand of the ChessMentor lessons.
Training without videos or books

I like ChessMentor but will not upgrade again untill they add that to the mobile app. I'm not home enough to be on my home computer.I had diamond last year and downgraded to fit my availability.
I wouldn't buy 50 books. I would buy 1 or 2 books. I am reading Silman's complete endgame course now and after studying(!) 118 pages I can only say that in about 2, 3 weeks... It took me 200, 300 points higher in online chess. And those first 118 pages are basic, easy, but fundamental knowledge. Don't buy more than 2 books though. And don't read them. Study them. With a board. Do each chapter 2, 3 times untill you actually understand it. It will probably be the best investment you can do for your chess.

Tactics Trainer is very good. Also I've been using a program called Peshka Interface, the program is free but you have to buy courses for it. For example I've been training with the Advanced Defense course and it seems to be helping me improve my game.
Anybody have a good training plan that doesnt involve buying and reading 50 books or watching hours of videos that ramble on and on?
