I rather prefer to use chess software to chess books, due to ease of
use. I don't have to worry about making mistakes: moving the wrong
knight or missing or move or something. and it's also a lot quicker --
more chess learning for time invested.
anyone with similar thoughts?
only issue is that chess literature (as opposed to multimedia) seems
to be better on the whole. there's no equivalent of an understanding
chess move by move, which I think is a terrific book.
or am I wrong? have you used chess software? which chess software has
worked for you -- for educational purposes?

Yes, "more chess learning for time invested" was why I created the first
Bookup program for myself over 20 years ago. I was competing with theory
hounds in my local chess club, and without the program they would chew me up
in the opening every time.
I found that all the energy flipping pages and decoding notation was spent
on uninterrupted chess study instead.

I no longer use chess books, on the grounds that their authors are inferior
to chess computers, and for the reasons you stated (efficiency of training).

I think using a book forces you to be more "conscient" about that
you're doing.
