"A fascinating method. I wouldn't be surprised if it proves superior."—GM Jonathan Tisdall

"A dynamic, practical approach," —British coach Jim Stevenson

"This does look very interesting and refreshing!,"  —GM Andrey Deviatkin

"Excellent article. Willy Hendriks wrote a book (Move First Think Later) dealing with this idea, but this article was more succinct. All I can say is your training method works remarkably well, and I'm only beginning to believe my improvement which has been especially rapid in blitz and quicker vision of the board generally... I'm a little embarrassed by my desire to improve given my age, which is 79, but I think it's worth noting that your methods CAN generate great improvement at any age. I peaked at 2043 USCF 20 years ago, and have stagnated around 1900 since, so I am very excited to suddenly begin smashing people at blitz who used to give me a hard time, and I've only been training a fairly short time on your site. Fantastic!" —Yiotta on Chessity.com, 2017
