I agree very much. If they actually told me "what" to do. I think I might be able to work harder on specific aspects of my game.

Yes, I would really benefit from a few suggested mini courses using the study material at this site.

A discussion that Rael initiated contained ideas about structured chess training. It referred to a number of syllabi:
"a schedule of what everyone at that level SHOULD know rather than what they DO know - it becomes potentially useful as a study framework."
There are several interesting chess syllabuses out there. e.g. The National Chess Syllabus™ featuring The Bandana Martial Art Exam System™ is a fun & funky way of learning how to play chess. http://www.trafford.com/04-2350 (see page 2).

Well, Chess.com offer more training options than you can hope for. But sometimes it is easy to loose yourself among the multitude of options.
It would be great to be able to creat to-do list or have the to-do lists suggested by the skilled writer at the site:
"Watch video x,y,z
Do computer work-out x,y,z
Solve tactics problem x,y,z
Study Chess Mentor course x,y,z
Review Master Game x,y,z
etc"
Everything neatly packed in a tick box to-do list or maybe even linked to your online calender.
Smashing!
Any Thoughts?
