? Mr. Goldberg will be heaving a sigh of relief, when he reads Steven &
? Malcolm's remarks - 2 less to worry about when the year's up & we haven't
? improved!
? the 1st obvious point about improvement is that you must study regularly!
? I feel like giving up, too, sometimes, especially when I think that I
? ought to beat every1 after having studied chess for a while. The problem
? is that the opponents study it too & so it's difficult to notice any
? improvement.
? You can compare it to learning your native english - At first you learn it
? at home for 4 - 6 years & you improve slowly. Then you go to school & you
? don't seem to improve at all for a year or two, even though you are now
? studying it at school as well as practising at home.
? any1 play on the net? maybe we could swap notes on the good/bad points of
? various sites?
? all the best, siegrun

I play on 22 correspondence sites. I don't play "real time" chess.
