Do you take lessons in chess? - 2006/02/12 19:13There is a long debate I had with a friend whether taking lessons are worth it, and to what level. I just saw a signature of someone here, saying how good it is to take lessons and I've figured out I'm going to poll on that. So....

I tend to agree about that, but only partly. I tried to take some lessons several years a go and it was a real disaster... I didn't understand a thing. I took than a more basic course and it was great. It just that you need to get the lessons on your level..
