Anyone tried Chess Mentor yet?
I purchased a yearly subscription, and I think the product is very good.
I like the adaptive training mode, so that I don't have to browse through the whole pack, and I find most of the examples are very well chosen.
The training mode is a very good idea too : you have to think, and it's good ! However, the explanations are somewhat uneven : in some lessons there are really excellent, in some others a little less so (I've ran through a Silman lesson where he writes to check the Variation, but this variation is nowhere to be found ?!)
All in all a very well thought and very well packaged product, which is a very good training and learning tool !
I absolutely love Chess Mentor! I've been trhough many of the demo lessons and each time I finish one I cringe thinking it will be the last one. I really want to find a way to purchase the full package, but $150 is a lot to lay out, especially to an internet hosted package, that there are no guarantees will always be around. Anyway, the demo has helped me immensly and I know at some put I will fork out the cash for the full package.
Thank you for this tool and this site!
