Using Chess Mentor

Sort:

I just got my membership and plan to start using Cess Mentor on a regular basis. I find it to be a great tool, but I have just a question: what do you think would be the most efficient way of using it? Should I pick the courses which seem useful to me and study all their lessons, should I pick out individual lessons or should I use the adaptive hints Chess Mentor has to offer?

 

Looking forward to your answer,

Alex

My approach:  View the Courses, sort them sequentially (i.e. by difficulty), skip the courses that are too basic for you, and jump in.  I don't always finish a given course before diving into a new one, but I try to maintain some level of focus.  (I'm working on no more than two or three courses at any one time.)

Whenever you hit the Start Training button, it takes you to the next lesson of the course you were last working on, which is convenient.

I see, thank you for the advice. I will try that and see if it works for me also.
