Q:

Since you've owned CM, how much have you improved?

For myself, I've been playing for a long time. I usually play pretty fast, and could never really "break through" the wall of understanding any depth...

CM has caused me to stop and evaluate my bad habits, and I've been replacing them with good habits.

Since owning CM for a month now, my online rating has steadily climbed from about 1200 to 1385.

My "fright factor" when playing people is lower now...

How about you?

I started playing chessmater since version 8. At the time my rating was about 1350 and i had big problems beating Alicia (~1400). I remember that it was most dificult for me to pass 1500 rating, but as i started to watch Josh Waitzking academy i started to improve (it's like i memorized them all). Today my rating is about 2000, and just because those academys. I learned to follow the principles of the game, and i have become much more patient. Althought, i stil have much to learn (mostly middle game)and i hope to see more and more learning materials in the next chessmaster.

I Start play witch players rating 1000 and now i played witch players rating 1300. I have CM 1 month
