Has anyone any views as to what is the best software to improve ones chess? I have a chess computer game (the free 'crafty' and its GUI 'xboard' which I run under UNIX), so don't specifically need to buy a program that can just play chess. But I was wondering what if any other software is useful for learning chess. There seems to be n-million bits of software, that say they will improve your game

Dear chess friends, A player has asked me to correct the notation of a move when two pieces can move to the same square, but only one of these two moves is legal. Please see the following sample: 7k/8/8/8/2b1N3/3N4/4K3/8 w - - 0 1 In this case when the white knight on e4 moves to c5, I would say it's Nec5. But he says, it's Nc5, since the other knight can not move to c5, because it would put th

Written by Big_ Brother
What is your opinion about the 5 volumes of the ECO by Informant? In theory is it worth buying them? Is it a staple for any serious chess player? If so, to what extent is it? Do you smartly need to be an expert to realy take advantage of it? Do you've the 5 volumes personally? Earlier or curiously do you think it gets obsolete quickly and is not worth spending $200? Thank you in advance..

Written by justinmcmanus
What are the most useful endings to study in chess? My rating on ICC is ~1350. I recently drew a game when I had a queen vs a knight, which I now know was winable. However, it is very hard to win against best play, and as someone has pointed out, it's probably not worth worrying about, as its of little practical value. Hence I'm wondering in what order should I study chess endings. I have no trou
