Chess Fans have said: Excellent lecture. I don’t particularly like playing against the French, although I can’t say my results against it are terrible. Regardless, it will be good to have another weapon at my disposal against it. – Very instructive lecture! – Thank you for another great lecture! – Astonishing lectures and inspiring games! What a great, cool lecture. I loved it, and can’t wait for #4 (if there is one)!
