Actual viewer testimonials...
I have just purchased 3 of your DVDs on pawn structure.
I am very very pleased to own these DVDs.
I enjoy your down to earth style of explaining things.
I have found that...I not only am remembering more, but I have time to
think about what you have said with out
having to stop the DVD. I can't wait to buy your DVD on analyzing positions.
Thank you so much for making so much information so affordable.
This is just what my game needs. -Francis Thomas Laity
I recently purchased the complete set
of 8 DVD's...and have been enjoying learning from
all the material you present on them.
I find your approach easy to follow and
I know that...
with time and continuing study I'll "get" more and more of it....
It seems that already my "intuition" about what moves might be up-coming is improving
and that I'm retaining more as well.
Anyway,
I thank you for all the effort you've put into
helping others play better and enjoy chess more deeply and look forward to working with your
new material as it becomes available.
-John M., South Portland, Maine
Your products are great. - I've learned a lot aready. -Harry J., Lancaster, PA
"International Master Dr. Danny Kopec possesses two unique qualities of great value to all aspiring chess players, his awesome understanding of endgame technique and an innate creativity for sacrificial combinations. The art of endgames and sacrifices can catapult any player up the ratings lists."
-Nicholas C., Midlothian, VA
I have just finished viewing the DVD's you sent me (7 in total), and although I have a reasonable
understanding of chess priciples and have a internet chess rating of 2000+, I
definately picked up some tips, especially in your pawn DVD's...
I knew my pawn play was lacking in quality, your DVD's confirmed that.
I have just recently purchased your book Mastering The Sicilian and found it to be a
excellent book for understanding ideas -positional and tactical in the Sicilian.
-Paul D., Perth, Western Australia
