    Excellent course, very well presented

    This is a great idea for a course and something I'd like to see a lot more of. Coming up with sensible plans in middlegame positions is an essential pracitcal skill and, particularly when you are ahead and fail to accurately assess and convert your advantage, one that can lead to painful draws or losses. Matt is a great teacher and clearly conveys his thought process in this course with a range of games he's played, pausing at critical moments and inviting the students to assess the position and identify the strongest plans going forward. I particularly like that the winning positions here are very varied in nature in terms of what the strongest plan to exploit them are, and that he doesn't just show games where he himself found the crushing line in the real game; in some cases the most "engine approved" line might be a 10-move tactical sacrifice sequence leading to a crushing attack but Matt shows that it's not always necessary to find this and you can still possess a strong lead with logical moves and adherence to the concept of building momentum, involving all your pieces in the attack, and the art of careful calculation.

    Excellent, Practical, Course

    I really liked the structure of the course, with each game having a clear theme. NM Jensen gives excellent explanations and reviews the key positions in an interactive way (based on live sessions). The framework/checklist is excellent for periodic review. By seeing many example games. and reinforcing the themes, hopefully these plans become intuitive and second nature. Several recent ChessGoals courses fit very well together to reinforce practical play. The How to Stop Blundering course is very complementary. Practical Endgames: How to Win from Equal Positions was recently added, and I am working that one next. Really enjoying these courses focused on practical play.
