Williams main teaching method behind this set of two DVDs is to teach you some simple yet effective set ups, without the need to rely on memorising numerous complicated variations.
Simon Says: "In this show we take a look at a very interesting and modern variation in the English Opening. The line we discuss comes about after the moves 1 c4 e5 2 Nc3 Nf6 3 g3 d5 4 cxd5 Nxd5 5 Bg2 Nb6 6 e3!? Nc6 7 Ne2!? White's idea is to play f4 and attack in the centre and on the kingside."
