### 4/5 — Anand course

*2023-09-12*

I have several of Chess King courses and found most of them very helpful!
 I wish that the Anand course would be more helpful in outlining the location of the commented games and more explicit in finding the various strategies. Anand is by far one of the most successful strategic players and having additional information on the course structure would be appreciated.
