Well that ended that conversation! Best to be honest and critical this is not an advertising site. Money wasted is not good.



I agree.

Only plays in proprietary chessbase software and from the free samples seems nothing special.

For French Fans, verdict = a solid no.

Those who want to go by my perverse footsteps play such pawn structure with fuzzy atypical still strategic orientations

I meant in the old days we would have had a breakdown of the DVD contents by now.

Chesspub is slow now. Or is it just me?


I moved it to a quicker server a while ago, it should be faster!

So, I heard that he advocates taking the pawn in the Alekhine-Chatard.

As a general rule, italics may be better for emphasis than caps which can seem aggressive and appear to be SHOUTING. Agree?

Go for it, pull the Visa trigger, give us your verdict Smiley

Cheers,

Oh, so you haven't seen THIS DVD?

I love the French, and I've played it for well over twenty years. I'm pretty tempted to get this despite my disappointment with some past Chessbase DVD's.

In my opinion "Power Play 22 Repertoire for Black With the French" is for the average player up to 1800.


What is that based on? You've watched it?


I watched some videos and I know the 1.e4-Repertoire-DVDs of the Powerplay series.

Perhaps you are right. Criticising a Ford Fiesta for not being a tank, in a way.
That said, I do wonder about some of the repertoire choices in some of these things. 
Path of least preparation resistance, it appears. Understandable I guess - bang one out, onto the next. And we all have to put bread on the table, pay the bills. A classic bad rep choice has been the Caro Kann Exchange, a choice made by several Usual Suspects.
