Have you seen the amazing Daniel King videos on the greek gift sacrifice, in Powerplay 1? I'd like to know how the work you're reviewing compares to it.

No I've not seen the DVD.

The book is quite good. The lad can write and knows what he is talking about.

The Colle is safe opening to play between two under 1400 players and if one
has an inkling what to look for in the Greek Gift then he will score with it.

Later on he will find he has to beef up his White pieces but for a learner
it's a good start.
