How Do I Use Chess Mentor?

Dear Chess Community,

I've recently joined Chess.com and have become a Diamond member.One of the main reasons for signing up was to use chess mentor which looks like a fantastic training tool. with so many options on how to use chess mentor, i'm at a loss on how to use this program.

I've noticed that there seems to be two distinct modes: Sequential and Adaptive, I'm not too sure which one to use if any! I'm obviously aware that i could just pick a course and work my way through it, but with so many to choose from, where do you start?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

The sequential mode hasn't been updated in a while, so new content isn't part of the program.  Adaptive sounds great for an already advanced player trying to figure out weaknesses.  I think most folks just click on "view courses", find something that looks interesting and give it a go.  My personal recommendation would be to do all the basic and intermediate tactics courses.  Learn all the motifs and checkmate patterns.  Do the courses over and over if you need to.  A little more will stick each time.  Have fun!  Here's a fun course:

• Exploiting Typical Opening Errors

Baddogno,
