Alright, this is the point where I am at and my problem: I've been playing chess for a few years, never really following a teaching method. Well, I eventually found out that I had some very findamental pieces missing in my chess knowledge (like being unable to visualize the board). I got the Comprehensive Chess Course by Peltz and Alburt and started from book ONE. This was around a week ago. My...
