Chess training schuledue

thanks alot, do you use any of those? how did/do they work for you?
Here is something else to read: http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/11/25/to-develop-expertise-motivation-is-necessary-but-insufficient/
I developed my own study plan based on the above, Kramnic's advice that you must do something everyday, and that although deliberate practice is supposed to be hard, it must contain some element of enjoyment or it will not be followed. I also feel you have to find your weaknesses and address those first, rather than follow some generic plan that throws everything together as if such would be good for all students. Right now I do only two things: first, play over master games, for which I wrote http://www.chess.com/download/view/guessthemove----training-program; second, work on tactics. I am writing another application for tactics training (which will be offered for free too, probably on chess.com). I like to write software, but would not bother with chess applications were it not for the fact that I have tried many free and commercial apps for playing over games and studying tactics,but was dissatisfied. The main problem I am trying to address is feedback (most apps do an ok job there), but also repetition of positions that I muffed until my performance is what it should be. In any case, find something that you enjoy and that you think is working. I believe you have to find a way to measure your progress or you will be uncertain as to the value of time you are putting in. As the above article states, putting in hours is not enough and by itself is no indication that your are learning effectively. Good luck!
