If you're still doubting
"Exceptional course. Manuel Ocantos delivery is clear and easy to understand. You can use knowledge you gain immediately in your games. There is so much information present here. This course is well worth your time and money."
"Recommended course for the beginner / intermediate player. Much focus is on pawn structures, which with king safety and activity of pieces make up the backbone of the course. Discussion of material is well covered, including when one should exchange or even sacrifice pieces, and maybe more importantly, when one should not. The explanations of various positions (including the ones from the activities) are detailed, without being overbearing. Nowhere does Manuel say something is "obvious", after all this is a course for those who wish to learn and not for those who already know."
