Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
The variety and depth of the material on this DVD is quite simply mind-blowing. Let’s first look at the contents:
As you can see there is simply an astounding amount of material: high-level theory in a wide variety of openings and all sorts of content for improvers (the column by Wells on strategy is particularly outstanding.)
Aside from this there are hundreds of annotated top games by grandmasters. This is truly one of the best bargains in chess today. I challenge you to finish the material on this disk before the next one arrives.
My one complaint is the occasional mix-up in languages, such as when a text with links to tournament reports are all written in English, except for the Russian Team Championship, which is in German. For those of you who haven’t bought a copy yet, now is the time to give it try. Enjoy!
My assessment of this DVD: Full five out of five stars
