Thirty years ago, Roman Pelts was my chess teacher in Odessa, Russia. Later he assembled all knowledge essential for becoming a stronger player in this Comprehensive Chess Course. The techniques used in the Course proved to be a success for me as well as for generations of chessplayers in Russia and later in Canada and the United States. Now, the Course can help you learn chess the correct way to realize your chess potential fully. - Grandmaster Lev Alburt, three-time U.S. Champion
