"I just had to say that the way you presented this video was exceptional. Specifically, when you say "remember this move order" or "stage 1", "stage 2", etc, I found that very helpful. Sorry Danny, you have been unofficially replaced by Simon as the best instructor on Chess.com!" - chess.com member Darwinfinch

"All these queen moves are awesome! I imagine the opponent's head when you play all these queen moves to win within less than 20 moves!" - IM and chess.com member Poucin
