To those of you who have read Silman's 'Reassess Your Chess',
Do you think using the workbook is necessary? Helpful? Waste of time? If it is helpful, then should I use the workbook at the same time of reading 'Reassess Your Chess'? I've heard of people doing one and not the other, or reading them both, but separately. I'd like to hear from your experiences, please. Thanks.

Now i'm reading the book again.
I read the book 2 years ago, but it was over my head.
You can read the workbook without reading his book if you want but the workbook is excellent. 136 problems with detailed, and I mean detailed solutions. The book is around 300 pages and 200 of those are just on the solutions!
I say you should read the book first and then use the workbook or read both at the same time. Read the book and do 2-3 problems from the workbook each day.

I think reading the book is not necessary, the workbook alone is covering everything in the book already. they both give all the ideas to follow, but the difference is, the book only annotates games using the ideas explained, and the workbook gives in depth analysis of positions (given as questions). the second is much more effective.
