Poll:
White Sniper by chess base
I saw chess base has a white snipee DVD. What exactly is the white sniper? Is it just another English DVD with g3? Also I was wondering what was covered vs c4 c5? Thanks.

New Edition of "Dynamic English"
I know it's been at least hinted that a new edition of "The Dynamic English" might be written. Is this already in the works, or are there plans sometime soon in the future for a new edition?
