I enjoy doing chess puzzles, another thing I like is going through GM games* and then covering the continuation and trying to find candidate moves, and see if the move or moves I choose are in the top 5 from stockfish, if so I am happy....if I happen to guess the move that Kasparov, Alekhine or Carlsen actually made, I am very happy!
What I would like is though is maybe a halfway house between jut solving puzzles and having a coach - i.e solve a puzzle with a move, and then a one line explanation (Moved my pawn to free the light squared bishop, hope to gain space) and then a GM, IM, FM or just a high rated player could say "Yeah, the right move, and your reason is good" or "Right move but your idea is off" or even "Wrong move, but you have a good idea....this move would have been better." Do you think Chess dot com could facilitate that kind of think ....maybe you pay $5 for a few replies?
(*There are some really great collections of games out there, I like The Mammoth Book of the World's Greatest Chess Games, Also Bobby Fischer My 60 Memorable Games....maybe the best [contentious!] Alekhine My Best Games of Chess... although Alekhine My Best Games of GTA V is rubbish, he keeps getting killed in Los Santos, he seems to be very bad at that game)
