Find a scan below with two puzzles for your enjoyment. In august they also ran some chess boards and demonstrations on the beach. Nice place to spend chess vacations

Most valuable twitter advice: Dan Heisman (@danheisman)

http://www.blogger.com/homeDan Heisman is definitely the best person you can follow to get good advice regarding chess. I has a no nonsense, high signal to noise approach that is very rare on twitter. Following list to his own columns you have some gems: for instance have a look at The Three Show Stoppers.

Things are actually simple. to improve at anything, work hard (outside of your comfort zone), think about your moves, play the good moves. Learn from the mistakes in your games.

Thanks Dan and keep it up.
