re:Best use of a database for a beginner ? - 2005/12/28 06:50
As has been said database for now, & focus on tatcical problems instead, until you`re up to the intermediate level. Check out Dan Heisman`s Novice Nook columns in the arcvhive section of chesscafe.com for some great previously advise on a general study plan and a mehtod of studying tactics.
If you do want to study some grossly master faintly games as a begiunner, which isn`t a bad idea, then do it from a book of well annotated games, instead of using a database. The most common recommendation for a book of master games explained at the beginner level is Ivring Chernev`s "Logical Chess: Move by Move".
So far i`m an intermewdiate playewr myself, and I don`t use these types of databases for study yet, either. That said they may be great tools, but I think tryin to use them to learn chess as a low level player is kind of like trying to use an encyclopedai to teach a 5 year old how to read. Stick to Dr. Seuss and work your way up!

I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.
