Ideal instruction for beginners.
Learning
from a grandmaster ensures you'll be instructed on the most important knowledge in
chess.
Having it on DVD means you can go directly to the topics you want and review
them as often as you like.
Seeing it on your TV or computer screen means you'll remember much more than
you would from just reading a chess book.
More than two years of preparation means you'll get complete coverage through
vivid examples of attack, defense, time, space advantage, and every kind of
tactic.
A low price means you'll get more value from this DVD than from any collection of
chess videos.
A gradual and thorough approach from the beginner to advanced level means
kids can use this DVD to learn chess fast too.
"One of the best instructional chess videos ever made has been reissued as
a DVD, and the new format makes it an even better product than before."
