Answer 4

I recommend this site lots of good stuff

If you want to really improve that can only come from hard work studying lessons with a teacher and constant practice with better players who will keep you sharp no site or video online is going to make you a better player.

Answer 5

For chess tactics training go at chesstempo.com

For chessgames collection go at chessgames.com

For forums where you can create question,read articles or view threads, go at chess.com

Youtube has many instructive, endgame, opening and middle game videos.

For general survey of openings, wiki is a good one..



You can buy a book if these resources is not enough for you.
