Critic Reviews
GM Matthew Sadler - New In Chess magazine:
"There are so many of these thoughts that you always come away with a Moskalenko book buzzing with possibilities. Indeed, after reading it, I was stimulated to launch a series of videos on the Pirc, simply because Moskalenko had managed to make the opening look like a lot of fun!"
