Great instruction on pawn structures! May 1, 2006
Reviewer: Brady from New York, USA  
Seirawan did a great job in this video,  covering everything from basic tactical motifs to strategic concepts based upon pawn structures. It is definitely worth the cost.

Pro Chess DVD May 1, 2006
Reviewer: Dan from Virginia  
Since chess is a game that is several hundred years old, the fact that this dvd is 25+ years old does not detract from it. It does exactly what the cover ad states. After 1 viewing it will really improve your game. After several viewings it puts you in a different league. Easy to understand, clear and relevant, and the dvd is simple to navigate.

Pro Chess dvd May 1, 2006
Reviewer: Jaysin from United States  
Since I am a player that is around class A the beginning half of the DVD was basic as well as some of the last half, but I did get some fine insights on how Seirawan views the pawns structures, and creating an overall game plan. Following his instruction was not a problem at all, but since the tape is a bit out of date (late 80's) I can understand that. Overall, there is always something to learn from this tape. And I speak to the audience below master level.
