♕ 10 GM SECRETS:♕ PRODUCT:♕ MORE SMIRNOV:♕ ♕Why do STRONGER players play better than the average club player?Grandmaster Igor SmirnovWhy is it that they WIN games and tournaments almost ALL the time. And some players can't even keep a positive score?The answer obviously is this:Stronger players UNDERSTAND chess better!No, they don't just calculate variations.
'GM Igor Smirnov is not scared to be honest telling you what the professional chess player actually does today.' Christopher Wright (New Zealand), International Arbiter of FIDE. We live in an age where there is a lot information in the form of chess books and videos.
Strong players don't just memorize opening lines. They don't just look for tactics every move. What set really strong players ahead of the pack is their DEEP and CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the game. This clear understanding allows them to 'JUST KNOW' the right move!With their deep positional and strategic understanding guiding them like a compass, strong chess players can tell the right plan and ideas and KNOW the RIGHT move ALL the time.
Without breaking a sweat!
It seems I keep running into Smirnov's spam-like advertisementsfor his chess courses. To me, the adsthemselves look over-hyped and sleazy, but I admit to being a skeptic when itcomes to a lot of things. It appears he runs anaffiliate program paying commissions to those who refer customers his way. Add thatto the fact that my Webroot Anti-virus warns against visiting the site makesthe whole thing look suspicious.
Inregards to this warning, one forum poster wrote that the course he boughtcaused his anti-virusprogram to quarantine the main menu program but he was still able to run theindividual components. Ihave searched a lot of forums just to get a diverse opinion of people who haveactually tried the program and have made an effort to avoid “testimonials” thatlooked to me like they were presented by shills. Satisfied customers used todupe folks into participating in a swindle. In regards to this last point, one poster commented, “ the less savvyconsumer (will believe) all recommendations to be an affiliate 'shill' for theseller.when in fact, the possibility does exist that he could just providegood products.”So,I decided to go on a search of the chess forums to see is anyone has actuallybought any of Smirnov’s course and more importantly, to see if they haveactually helped anybody improve. Whatfollows is a compilation of answers to the question of how good are the coursesand I will let the reader be the judge of the merits of the programs.FOR.
