This week's Novice Nook article is entitled "The Four Homeworks" and discusses the four types of tasks Heisman thinks are necessary for chess improvement: * 1. Practice playing slow games (surely GK games fill that bill!) 2. Tactical (or other) problems 3. Reading annotated master games 4. Reading other instructive material * He discusses balancing these four tasks, recommends some books, programs and websites and in general does a pretty good job in a few pages of setting out a realistic guide to how to study chess. It may not be the only way, but I think it's pretty hard to criticize it. * Here's the link: * www.chesscafe.com * Let me know what you think! ws

Hmmm... outside of GK? I recommend: - Jeremy Silman's page: www.jeremysilman.com - ChessCafe: www.chesscafe.com
