Chess Mentor Recommendation
This is a genuine testimonial by me, Makavelian. I played the demo version as soon as it was released here on chess.com. I hated it I must say. It was beating me, and in my opinion not teaching me anything.
That was until I got the full version. My original rating was around 1300 on chess.com. It is now nearly 1500 in a month and my rating on chess mentor went from a 900 to 1646 and still climbing!!!!
I find my mind can find winning combinations; in essence that is what chess mentor is all about. And just think you can get unlimited play for $15 a month!!! Thats about £7.50 to us brits, less than a round of drinks.
It's got everything, opening traps, openings, endgame technique etc etc. Very good product and will improve everyones play. For further info feel free to message me.
I want to give a five star recommendation to the Chess Mentor program. I am a relatively new player who has consistently had problems with sacrifices and combinations. The concepts were clear but I couldn't put them into actual game situations. Thanks to Chess Mentor, for the first time, I am beginning to really understand the importance of opening up files, sacrifices, etc., and am actually beginning to put it all into practice. The beauty of this program is that everything you need is right there. No need to have a book, a chess set nearby, etc. I don't expect miracles here..but I can feel the progress. Not to mention the increase in confidence. The support I have gotten from chess.com when I have a question about chess mentor has been their usual high standard. At the very least try out the free lessons and see what I mean. One more thing...the program offers many lessons that are appropriate for players regardless of ratings.
