Greetings! This week's Novice Nook article is entitled "The Four Homeworks" and discusses the four types of tasks Heisman thinks are necessary for chess improvement:
*
1. Practice playing slow games (surely GK games fill that bill!)
2. Tactical (or other) problems
3. Reading annotated master games
4. Reading other instructive material
*
He discusses balancing these four tasks, recommends some books, programs and websites and in general does a pretty good job in a few pages of setting out a realistic guide to how to study chess. It may not be the only way, but I think it's pretty hard to criticize it.
