Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Total Chess Training 2Customer Review: Most useful if you use it properly Summary: 5 StarsI have this training program for last one yr.This is very helpful in chess practice.There are 5 programs incorporated in one CD.These five programs are encyclopedia of Middlegame 2,Chess tactics for intermediate players,Mate studies and two endgame programs.There are enough teaching materials in each of them to study.Like chess base programs there is an chess playing engine (crafty)and it is it is very strong. So if you do not find a move in a particular exercise compatible with your chess knowledge the engine can help in solving the problem.The other chess program CT art 3.0 is extremely popular and helpful.I purchased it separately.And prolonged practice of chess tactical exercises on a regular basis I have increased my ELO rating in tactics up to 2450 (quite high) use To practice for certain benefits and improvement you should go through all the examples repeatedly at least 7 times.This is explained by Michael de La Maza in his excellent book Rapid chess improvement(sic).There is rating and percent success in the program which will keep a track how your improvement is going on.Still the price is quite high because there are so many finely built chess programs to have.If one costs $90 then there is less likely to purchase the other Total chess training program. There are 5 programsin this CD prepared by best of the russian chess masters.And one last piece of advise these are not for beginners so beginners must first learn other programs or books to an intermediate standard then proceed.Best of luck.
