Thank you Mr. Till. I enjoyed this article and the examples, classic openings.---Canada

I think I like everything about this article: the always refreshing sense of humor, the interesting background story, the notation that helps me understand the games, and most of all how every time you show the significance of positive attitude when dealing with a stronger opponent. For that reason I like this article a lot and the one you wrote about defeating the Philidor expert. That was hillarious! Thank you for sharing these insights into the art of thinking.---Alvin, TX

Always a pleasure to see you in action Mr Till.---Netherlands

I hope you write some new articles for Chess.com, I enjoy your positive-thinking approach and your aggressive style.---Virginia, USA

Great article! Very insightful and helpfull, since I prefer castling on the queen side, just because of its attacking nature.---Netherlands

The thing I admire about the author is that he doesn't play openings that are the most common, but the openings that suit his style making him a successful player---South Africa

Another great example! These two articles about castling on opposite sides are splendid material for players like me: I know the basics and small tactical ideas. I'm trying to understand the insights for bigger tactical ideas - which, to me, our more intuitive than thought-through at this point in my game. This article helps me a long way! Thanks.---Netherlands

Another great metaphor, each player paints the picture. Did you learn these
from someone else or do you create them yourself? They are a great way to
make learning chess a lot more interesting.---Virginia, USA
