• Rever read more chapters in week. You can read the chapter multiple time in week, you can repeat old readen chapters, but don't read more than 1 new chapter per week!
• Every book is so for about 1/2 year. I know, it's much, but it's the alphabet of the chess. Without deep understanding what's written there, you will never be good player.
