It’s a wonderful treasure

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2024-08-01, version 1.2*

El curso abarca todos los temas, con multitud de ejercicios y una parte de teoría bastante bien explicada. Lo encuentro mejor que el de Finales de Dvoretsky, que es mucho más farragoso de estudiar y mejor estructurado que el de los 100 finales de De la Villa. 
Lo estoy disfrutando.
Podría mejorarse el módulo de análisis que se nota ya anticuado.

### 4/5 — Super Programm
