Chess players with an ELO rating of 1700 and above, please help me learn chess.?

Hi

I have a number of questions about improving my chess skills.

1. Is there a computer chess game that provides move analysis after the game or during it? With hints and everything?

2. I couldn't find a particularly useful website offering good chess lessons. The available tutorials aren't much useful since in order for them to work the pieces must be at certain places otherwise you can't pull that cool move. Any really cool website?

3. What's the best way to improve my chess in general? Reading lessons? Playing against computer? Playing against human players?

Thanks a lotChess players with an ELO rating of 1700 and above, please help me learn chess.?

Practice



Play lots of very slow games against players that are better than you 60 minutes 45 minutes 90 minutes is even better. Blitz is good but it's junk food try and not over do it if you're serious about improving. Play against a Computer Engine at its highest level even if it destroys you repeatedly you'll improve your learn about the weak points in your game and areas that you could improve in.



Work on your Tactics and solve lots of Chess Problems: Spending at least 35-45 minutes a day doing Chess problems can improve your game the best way to solve is directly from the diagram in a book through your mind's eye with some practice you'll find solving this way much quicker than setting up problems on a board.



Ask strong Chess Players 2200+ rating to look at your games and give feed back of what areas you need to work on, even if he or she is very critical of your play and brutally honest take it to heart and listen.
