Hello there!
I'm a bloody chess amateur but I want to improve my skills so I'm willing to invest time and money in order to do that. So I came down to two options to invest in:
Either CHESS MENTOR from the chess.com website,
or a CHESS ENGINE like Shredder or Hiarcs (I am a Mac user).
I already use Stockfish as chess engine and I own a couple of books, so I'm tending to the chess mentor but I haven't done my decision yet.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this to help me decide. Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers!
DW.

Originally posted by deltawhiskeyI'll be your mentor. However, you'll be asked to forsake your current life for a life of servitude and supplication while under my tutelage. A small price to pay for guaranteed results. When I'm done, I'll have the Polgar Sisters down on their knees for you.
