One of the best @chessable authors: a strong GM who explains the moves clearly and present a lot of ideas and plans behind them for all level players to understand this challenging, but beautiful game! Thank you a lot, Mr. @GMGawain!
Hello from a sunny Kiwi winter's Tuesday morning. Time zones are confusing but I believe my new course: Seizing the Initiative - The 1.e4 Repertoire: Part One has just been released. Quality Chess version out Wednesday. Link in comments. That's how people do it these days right?
