Thinking of joining Kit Woolsey's GammOnLine and wandering if anybody had anything negative to say about the service.

Kit's site is the best learning tool (other than actually playing) that I have ever seen and I have read almost all the books and seen many of the sites. It is worth WAY more than the 36 dollars per year that he charges. For those who want to improve their money and tournament play it is (IMHO) practically a gift.

It is an excellent service for all levels of players. I think being a member also gives you access to previous issues. There are new articles every month, a bulletin board much like this newsgroup and an ongoing match between the readers and Kit where we all vote on the best move against him every day. The first 11-point match we lost to that lucky duck 11-7, but we're leading the latest 1-0 and the second game of this match is a very close race. There is also a monthly quiz based on 8 different problem positions. Everyone make their choices and they are registered. The solutions come out the following month and the reader with the highest score wins a free one-year subscription to GammOnLine. The scoring is done in a very fair way because you score points for each puzzle based, not only on a Snowie analysis, but that of 9 other human judges or panelists. I like Kit's newsletter a lot and recommend it, definitely worth many times more the $3.00 a month he charges for it.
