Reviews

I finished the DVD ready to go online to try out some of King's recommendations, and I suspect that many other players will as well. Even players who already have well-defined repertoires will likely find helpful nuggets here. Thanks to King's "ideas-based" approach rather than pure memorization, viewers will find it relatively easy to recall the basic considerations for these opening systems. And they will have fun as well. My assessment of this product: Great (five out of six stars)
