Sort:
Underpants_Gnome89

I am a very new player I understand alot but am in no way a great player. I am reading silmans the amatures mind. I have gone over all the black rules and am going to go over it in more detail again reading the finer points. Then aI also have his book the complete book of chess stratagy which I will be reading too. 

As far as openings go I am studying the english opening and have a big book on it as I am learing the ins and outs of it 

If I had to rate myself it would be in the low to mid 900s

My question is at my current level whould a diamond membership be binificial to me at this point or should I learn some more then get the membership?

I think a diamond membership would be good when ever you want it, as long as you know how to use it.  But that's just my guess, I've never had a diamond membership.

Diamond membership will give you full access to everything. Chess players usually get it for the video lessons but there is much more. Puzzles to increase your tactical thinking. Video lessons for beginners like you. They are all lessons from masters. I would get it it's very useful. A bonus is no ads :)

If you do so though, bear in mind that you will miss out on some awfully fun ads.

Well if your going to use it its alright. The video lessons are very informal and the computer analysis is unlimited which is like a fritz reviewing your games. Then chess mentor is what it says: a virtual chess coach.

If your not going to use it then get platinum

oh no doubt if I get it I will use it I just wondered if it made 50 dollars worth of differance in a new players game

If you watch and listen to the video lessons it definitely will, learned how to play the queens gambit better through a video series on there, I am still watching it but I do see a big improvement in my skills. So yes I would say so.

I'd go for it. Whoever said the computer analysis is like having Fritz analyse your games is talking rubbish though. The computer analysis here is at a rating of around 2000. Fritz is significantly higher.

Don't get it based on that.

Still, there are a bunch of other great features worth forking over the cash for.

Well I am using an iPad right now sir I do press quote

Well, the idea is that you get the membership, then learn. Not learn, then get the membership.
