Question
Hi, I am a intermediate at chess, and seek to improve my chess skills. I find that I learn better through exercises, and not just by playing or reading books (I do that too). However, the only chess workbook/exercise book I know of is Jeremy Silman's Reassess your Chess workbook. Does anyone know of any good chess workbooks? (on any topic including tactics, endgame, positional etc)  

Answer
dont go on textbooks or other written material.
GO FOR A CHESS COMPUTER PROGRAM. I can refer you one. Chessmaster 9000. it is a software that has been tested against grandmasters like vishwanath anand and krammik.
It has complete tutorials, classes, old recorded games of grandmasters. There are practce sessions and various levels to which you can play with.

I dont consult any software. I have my own way to analyze and i give you my mind. Please dont ask me any championship dates etc. For that better consult FIDE website.
