I’ve been using a chess tactics app for a few years now but have not completed a chess game since the 1990s. I may have played a total of 6 games in my life. This course has greatly enhanced my desire to play on a regular basis. Great and thorough instruction to bolster my weak areas (openings, middle game and end game!). My only complaint is that the background music interfered with the lecture-especially during the jazz drummer solos.

I have been coaching chess for the last 3 years at the Boys and Girls club at Monterey, and have been playing chess for over 50 years. In that time I have played Grandmasters (and lost), played blindfolded games, and had many a chess rival. It is one of my greatest hobbies, and one of the subjects that I have the most extensive knowledge of.
