Learning about how the ‘troubled’ Fischer played chess with such precision was too good a chance to miss. You could try to improve your ability at chess by just playing lots of games but the fact is that is not the best way to improve. Studying the greats as well as your own games is required; but what if you don’t possess the skill or resources to do that? Tryfon does a great job as per usual with this course by providing insights into Fischer’s games. It would be difficult to imagine how much effort you would have to invest to come up with an equivalent course. Tryfon puts together a whole series of lectures here in this course so we don’t have to do any searching for the details of the games. In this course we get access to Tryfon’s knowledge and well produced lectures anywhere we go with our mobile. Another great course. It was a ‘no brainer ’ for me.
Instructor reply: Thank you so much for your insights and enthusiasm - Cheers, Tryfon

Tryfon's enthusiasm shines through here as always. He really gets to the heart of what made Fischer's dynamism so special. Plus he gives an average club player like me useful heuristics attached to the openings and in general. Tryfon (check all checks) Gavriel is a fine teacher and the course is useful for intermediate players.
Instructor reply: Many thanks for your kind and enthusiastic comments :) Cheers, K
