Could be more interactive, like asking for moves in key positions. GM Avrukh was a bit rushed in his explanation, occasionally he would skim whole parts of the game. Otherwise, more of GM Avrukh's games needs to be shown!

Not at all upto my expectation. Pace of delivery is too fast and difficult to concentrate bcse of too distracting expressions.Instead of hammering core concepts for weaker players more into giving variations etc.

Avruk's video and speaking itself is ideal! Nice games, nice comments. From learning perspective - I am missing interactivity after the video (like finding critical moves again) and/or at least "pause video" in critical positions. I understand that I can do this "pause" by myself for every move, but if the author of the course says it, it really helps for such lazy people as I am.

I have learned a lot from Boris Avrukh dynamic play. He shows that being a 1.d4 player doesn't mean you can't play agressive chess. Don't forget first to download the pgn attachment of the games. They are very well annotated.

watching this on GM Boris Avrukh's birthday! Great video course with nice ideas, explanations and analysis. My only problem is you don't tell us to pause the video in the critical positions...
