What is the best chess product you have bought for your studies?

Hi guy, 

I just want to know what is the best item that you bought for your chess studies? Book?ebook? software?chessbase?

I'm roughly around 1800-2000 rating strength and i personally believe that everyone should buy this below items for their studies:

1. Chessbase 11

2. fritz13 

3. Course by Grand Master Smirnov : http://bit.ly/O7RHMb

4. of course Subscription to member in chess.com!!

Try all these product, i found it very useful for all levels.

Regards

I bought a Carlsen bobble-head once.

LOl. Carlsen should make some video training. Anyway who coach Carlsen? Lol.. 

I bought chess books, and experience (when playing in a tournament)

 The only chess related thing i have ever purchased was a chess board with magnetic pieces.

What chess books? 

I think one of the best chessbook that i bought is MySystem by Nimzovich, Reaccess your Chess by Jeremy Silman & Silman's complete endgame course.

Nowdays i prefer video training like chessbase or GM Smirnov course http://bit.ly/O7RHMb

The books I bought are

1.Mastering Your Chess Opening by John Watson

2.Improve your Positional Chess (my favorite) by Carsten Hansen

3.Gary Kasparov Greatest Chess game

4.Chess Training for Budding Champions by Hall

5.Bobby Fischer Games by Eric Schiller.

Also watching to GM Smirnov videos, they are helpful but I can't afford his course. :)

yeah, Gm Smirnov video quite very good way for 2000 rated and below. I guess you will agreed bout that. I found out the course is very reasonable price actually, not that expensive compare what we can get. :) This is his new products:  http://bit.ly/MWFhVY "Calculate till Mate".. sound interesting!

CHESS:  5334 Problems, Combinations, and Games, by Polgar.

Book or software prefered?? i prefer using software and video training. Easy to understand when someone explain it rather in reading. 

Nice video course that i bought is http://bit.ly/Nrbqo3 "The Grandmaster's Secrets" . Recommended. 

Combination of video lesson chessbase, chess.com and chessbase products! but in term of specific course, choose GM Smirnov.

GM Smirnov courses are expensive but worth to buy it. Because the process of our improvement in chess is priceless. I also pleased because of his free video lessons if I subscribe to his course.

most important one: chessboard and pieces

and for books: Silmans endgame book, Nunn's tactics book and Jussopow's chess course (dont know the english name for it, in german its "Tigersprung" series)

yes. Silmans endgame book! Silman have made couple great books such how to reacess your chess and Silman endgame. totally agreed!
