IM John Donaldson
Former Captain of US Chess Team

All the material is expertly explained... Anand shows how a top-level professional gets ready for games.

IM Jack Peters
Former Chess Columist for Los Angeles Times

[Anand's] easy-going manner keeps you interested, but it's obvious that he wants you to push yourself to follow his explanation of complicated positions. Don't settle for casual entertainment. To learn, you must participate.
