Can you give any feedback on the Chess Mentor courses? Do you have some favorites, etc?
We'd love to hear what you think of recent Chess Mentor courses and authors :)
Own my copy of Chess Mentor so I don't use the one on site, but I'm interested to hear the feed back.
I thought the Pins and Skewers Course by the GM Patrick Wolf were quite good. The courses that teach you the basics of the game are also very good. They cover every single aspect of rules, check, checkmate, and stalemate. Jeremy Silman also has good courses. I have some of his books. He is a really good chess instructor.
I also own a copy of the Chess Mentor and love it. It has done more than any other single resource to improve my chess game. With my premium membership have been sampling some of the newer courses. I have liked both Silman's "Art of Exchanging Pieces" & Khmelnitsky's "Improve your decision making in critical positions.
I too do not use the one on the site, but own it as software. I didn't spend much time on it, I needed to study tactics, but the ones about elementary endgame concepts gave me a solid foundation at least. (the opposotion, cutting the king's way with rook, pawns against rooks, zugzwang, etc.)
FYi - if you own the disc version you can get free time on the web version! see http://www.chessmentor.com/web.html
