CHESS.COM, YOU DON'T COME OUT WITH GOOD LESSONS ANYMORE. YOU HAVEN'T FOR A WHILE. YOU ALSO CHANGED YOUR VIDEOS SO THE FORMAT AND LOOK OF THEM IS WORSE
https://www.chess.com/lessons/jans-four-knights/the-scotch-four-knights
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THAT LESSON - ANY PART OF IT. AND LOOK AT IT. THE GREY DESIGN (which is terribly BORING to look at), THE BOARD, THE LAYOUT, EVERYTHING.
THEN LOOK AT THE VIDEO FOR THIS LESSON, WHICH IS OLDER
https://www.chess.com/lessons/every-pawn-structure-explained
WATCH A SNIPPET OF THAT VIDEO. THAT FORMAT. THE GREEN (MUCH more lively than boring grey). THE BIG BOARD THAT TAKES UP THE SCREEN.
THAT WAS BETTER. THE WAY YOUR LESSONS USED TO BE WERE BETTER. NOT ONLY DID THEY LOOK BETTER IN STYLE AND FORMAT, BUT THE LESSONS THEMSELVES WERE BETTER.
WHEN IT COMES TO LESSONS, THE JOHN BEAR ISN'T GONNA LIE. YOUR SITE HAS DECLINED SIGNIFICANTLY AND YOU NEED TO DO BETTER AND GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS WERE A FEW YEARS AGO - WHEN CHESS.COM WAS AT ITS BEST. WHEN YOU HAD THE OLD STYLE LOOK AND FORMAT TO THE VIDEOS - NOT THIS NEW STYLE THAT THE LAST SEVERAL LESSONS HAD - AND WHEN YOU USED TO HAVE VIDEO LESSONS THAT WERE COMPLETELY FOCUSED ON THE CHESS BOARD, RATHER THAN SHOWING US PHOTOS OF CHESS PLAYERS EVERY FEW MINUTES - INTERRUPTING OUR FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION ON WHAT'S BEING DISPLAYED ON THE CHESS BOARD.
IF I DIDN'T ENJOY YOUR **OLD** LESSONS SO MUCH, AND DOING PUZZLES, I WOULD'VE CANCELED MY MEMBERSHIP BY NOW, AS YOUR SITE DOESN'T CUT IT AS FAR AS NEW MATERIAL GOES, AND YOUR SITE HAS GOTTEN WORSE, NOT BETTER, OVER THE PAST COUPLES OF YEARS.
CUT IT OUT WITH THE BORING, MIND-NUMBING GREY LOOK THAT YOU'VE GIVEN THE RECENT VIDEO LESSONS. THE GREY LOOK DOESN'T LOOK CLASSY. IT'S JUST BORING.
AND GO BACK TO THE GREENISH DESIGN FOR THE VIDEO LESSONS WHICH WAS FAR SUPERIOR.
HARD TRUTHS FROM THE JOHN BEAR, WHO ONLY SPEAKS THE TRUTH. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN REFLECT ON WHAT WENT WRONG AND HOW YOU WENT WRONG AND HOW TO IMPROVE AND REGAIN A GOOD STATUS.
