I appreciate the effort gone into it. It’s helped me become better at my openings and I’m looking forward to what he has next in store. Cheers.
Tyler (verified owner) –
I’ve only reviewed all the black lines but I am liking the author’s approach of adding exercises after each chapter to make sure you are looking at the positions themselves rather than just routinely memorizing the lines without absorbing the content of his commentary.
Steven William (verified owner) –
The ideas taught in this course helped me defend against a brutal attack in my last tournament. I was able to secure the half-point once I defused the attack.
Charles (verified owner) –
more importantly, when we have to make an exception to the standard plan, a very good explanation of what would happen if we didn’t do it,
Liam (verified owner) –
Another problem I faced was during my well-planned opening, sometimes opponent would bring the queen out
Mason (verified owner) –
I have tried a few free and paid repertoire courses but I continued to face a challenge with them
Jackson (verified owner) –
Even above beginner level, knowing the first ten moves is usually sufficient, and the variations in this course average nine moves.
Putri Lovely (verified owner) –
I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
Dylan (verified owner) –
he gives you basic principles that just works 90% of the situations – it sounded silly to me at first, but then it became a daily prayer
Gempita (verified owner) –
I would never recommend this book to anybody that I would consider a beginner, and maybe not even a “casual” player (depending on the definition).
Nathaniel (verified owner) –
Also, this course is not aimed at advanced and master level therefore; it didn’t overwhelmed me with things that I don’t need to worry about at my level.
Kim Jin Un (verified owner) –
I’m still a fairly new adult learner and have looked at all the major courses and finally feel like I have an option that makes sense for my level and available time.
Paul (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Max (verified owner) –
Really good course
Yunis (verified owner) –
I think many of these reviewers forget what it was like to be a beginner, or a casual player.
Kaden Arabic (verified owner) –
Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.
Yangdi (verified owner) –
I am an expert rated chess player FIDE Rated 2306 who had the privilege to beta-test this wonderful course. I went through some of the chapters of this course namely,
Isaac (verified owner) –
keep repeating basic principles annoying number of times (sometimes say it with a beard then later repeat it without the beard 😁)
Angeline (verified owner) –
In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.
Jhony (verified owner) –
For taking all the fun out of my chess games. I never thought anybody would be cruel enough to make winning so easy that chess has become boring.
Putri Nuraisyah (verified owner) –
Wonderfully Structured and Organized Course
Robert (verified owner) –
Some courses handled the opening principles nicely
Kayden (verified owner) –
Even when one of my opponents didn’t follow theory, which often happens with beginners,
Hayden (verified owner) –
At this level this course covers a sweet spot.
