The most important thing I noticed when playing against a much stronger opponent, e.g. programs, is that a chess player needs SOMETHING that will let him feel psychologically comfortable, I mean no fear of opponent. No general knowledge of the game – opening theory, middlegame positions, good endgame skills – will make you absolutely confident and calm if you feel that your opponent has advantages in everything. When you know a lot, you actually know nothing. Using this system, I don’t have apprehension anymore when playing against programs and also people. Now, even if I lose, the reasons for that are other factors, not the ones that were before.

It is important to build up a system to hold on to realizing that it can make the class of game stable, even if only psychologically, at first sight. Though, after you study all the details of the system, you will become a totally different chess player. I mean, a chess player being stressed and under a limited control needs a simple and efficient thing, but not the legacy of the whole chess world, because you’ll lose the game sooner than you’ll be able to choose something suitable from this legacy.

In my opinion, creation of a clear list of HE for studying and using in practice mechanically is an example of creation of a user manual. As I already mentioned before, most often it is important not even to win but not to lose. I think, using this detailed system of HE delivers tremendous results. There are some programs I am not interested in playing against any longer. They are not that advanced, but I understand that they have nothing to win me. It’s the first time it’s been interesting to me to play against strong programs. I don’t have fear of losing anymore. Now I say to myself – “Try to win” and even if I lose I don’t become upset with it, because the quality of the games lost is totally different than it was before I started using HE.

Of course, I don’t mean you should refuse from everything and use only HE, but for me it is the HE system that was the missing link in the whole game. 
The most important thing is to make the system completed for what it was designed for, to make a detailed list and technique of using and calculation. But it is almost ready. At the moment I use the technique as it is written in the first book.

I’ve become a Class A-player recently winning a couple of games. I performed there some easy combinations which I could never have found if I hadn’t read the book under discussion.
The book helped me make my dream as a child come true. What can be greater than that?

Thanks a lot for you work. I work as a chess coach for children in the chess school “Etude”. When my pupils start studying strategy, they forget about tactics. Your approach makes it possible to start assessing the position from searching hazardous elements and to switch to strategy, i.e. a search for a move becomes an integral algorithm. Of course, it is necessary to increase the number of examples for didactic purposes.

I’ve seen the demo version of the book and was very impressed. I’ve read it in one breath in two and a half hours. The book is very useful for beginners, like me, and for many others. Those who only start studying different strategies and tactics will be very interested to see real examples. There are no difficult terms in the book and that is a great plus in learning the material. Earlier I never thought of many things when making moves, I made blunders when attacked. In this book there is a nice description of how to avoid such blunders. Now I’m already not that bad when I play against computer at the beginner’s level, which really pleases me. The author of the book is a good egg and a real professional. Thanks for the nice and easy material. I recommend this book to everyone; even professionals will be able to pick up a lot of new things from it

I’ve read the demo version and was deeply impressed! Honestly, it was a bit difficult to go into theory, especially taking into account that there is no complete picture provided because some chapters are absent.
Generally speaking, the book is full of theoretical computations that let you look at chess totally different. I changed my worldview. I don’t know how the author could manage it. It is really tremendous work. I can only imagine how much time was spent for the creation of this book…
What are the minuses? In my opinion, it would be nice to reduce the theoretical part. But if the author introduces some new ideas in chess, there are actually no minuses. It’s necessary to unlock the potential and a detailed variant is needed to do that.
Thank you for changing my opinion on chess. I am going to make my sons read this book. It was great to find such a website on Internet.
