	Not everybody is interested by analytical depth. Clarity of the presentation, or highlighting some points making the learning process easier are probably very valuable for many potential customers. I guess the market is not the same than for QC.

	I agree. Writing a book involves a lot more work than a DVD particularly if you are aiming for excellence. Sadly there are too many chess DVDs where you get the impression that not too much effort was put in. Fortunately there are DVD authors who make a real effort to instruct such as King, Bologan, Kritz and Ramirez.

	Sometimes it is good to look at cost/benefit when choosing between different options. ”Playing the French” by Jacob Aagaard and Nikolaos Ntirlis - 24,99 Euro ”Powerplay 22: A Repertoire For Black With the French Defence” by Daniel King – 29,90 Euro I am very ignorant in this area but is it really so much more labor intense to make a DVD compared to a paper book?

	What kind of proof is that?

	I have seen the introduction and the first game. King is a good presenter and has the ability to explain things very well. I am around 2100 and learned something and I have played French at CC. My initial impression is that the training questions are well done and instructive and I suspect this is the strength of the dvd. If game 1 is anything to go by theory is light but one could pick up a few ideas for ones repertoire. There is a database of games which might provide further information on the lines but I have not looked at that yet.

	"This DVD explores different systems so that you can always keep your opponent guessing as to your choice." ...keyed into Google Sales Translator... "I do not bother to go into depth in any line"
