  • Yahya Safdari
    This was a comprehensive course on how to play prime openings and get out of opening safely. The objective behind each opening is described and explained clearly. It had brought an advancement in my games from 650 elo to 900 and I am still practicing the concepts.
    Thanks to this course, I know have better understanding of basic concepts.
