I think it's great to see Simon Williams showing that producing innovative and quality chess instructional material is more than some of the 'run of the mill' stuff we have seen from more estabilished sources.

Sadly, every time I've tried to play the French it's ended in disaster!

Just ordered mine - 
Will post an honest review, once received and viewed

It is our wedding anniversary on Saturday (28th) so if the DVD drops through the letterbox I will have to explain that Nanny Mcphee was sold out and this was the only alternative 

Thanks

Hi Adam, 

You will be glad to hear that we are about to launch a new website. Hopefully sometime next week.
Also the 'Killer French' DVD's are now ready in America, we shipped our first lot out on Monday.

Simon Williams

I like the CB DVDs by Müller and Bologan. I guess they could be a bit better production wise, but I focus more on the chess than camera angles, et c.

I got an impression that you are personally involved. Did you received free dvd or maybe just like him?
Half of the screen is a chessboard wheareas the other half is S.Williams sitting as did Roman.
Is it possibility, one can see only a chessboard?
Why all of sudden everybody accuses me of being a competitor? I am not.
Just because I do not praise his work?
And one more issue: listening and at the same time looking at Fritz or any other good engine' evaluation is very helpful. You just cannot say you are indifferent.
One said "The fact that we have had to wait a decent length of time for Williams' products testifies to the fact that a certain amount of care was put into making them."  a decent length of time does not guarantee anything. to try does not always means to achieve.  It's for the sake of argument)And at the end - I believe - his analysis is very good, he chose proper lines, but I dislike interface.
I have put that, and all of sudden as if it was one man, started to accuse me of being a competitor...

To: TalJechin which one is mediocre from ChessBase?

naturlich, ich komme aus Deutschland und arbeite fur Chessbase...
ps. add "an umlaut" when appropriate

drucker, competition is good for the customers .....yes and I'm sure Williams' appreciates any constructive criticism but what is unacceptable is making negative comments towards him and his dvds because you view them as competition. I think it's pretty clear that you work for one of the other chess publications out there and to be honest, I think it's a a pity that you've felt the need to come on here and attack this guy's work. Williams' has taken a dignified approach to all of this, something which he should be commended for. Simon... I'm looking forward to the next dvd and I hope that drucker won't discourage you from making future ones!
