    By the way guys, you really have to appreciate that we have one of the best players of the world teaching us chess FOR FREE. Chess lessons are normally quite expensive and in my youth, I payed a lot for chess lessons for trainers with around 2000 to 2500 rating (I had to get better trainers as I grew up and therefore pay more). I probably spend a thousand euros per year on chess trainers in my youth, so let's appreciate the fact that we can get some really good Training for free

    Hikaru thanks for this tip on the French, I've been working on it and it seems like a good opening for Black. My Middlegame needs work, so if I can connect it to good attacking ideas, it should lead to some good positions. I'm also looking into the main lines from the (Czech/Pribyl) Pirc, which seems a little sharper if played well.
