Should you purchase this course?

The opening is the key point of the game. If you misplayed at the start of the game then you have to suffer a lot to get equality and a better position. Simultaneously you have to focus on middlegame also.

In these two courses, Simon covered a complete guide for preparing the opening and middlegame. If you learn one key point from all of these courses then also it will be beneficial for you in long term.

Also, in the 2nd course, Simon analyzed various games of top players such as Tal, Alekhine, Botvinnik, and Karpov. From these games, you will learn some advanced methods for finding various strongest moves.

As per my opinion, you should definitely opt for these GingerGM Method courses. These courses will give you a complete guide on opening preparation and middlegame fundamentals.
