Does anyone have any experience with "Foxy Openings" DVDs? They have quite a few out and I was curious to as how good they were.

Chess Openings DVD's - Chess Opening Training - Chess House

I don't have any experience with these DVD's, but one of their creators is a little suspect in my mind, ever since I noticed this:

Foxy Openings Volume 14: Blackmar-Diemer Gambit {DVD} - USCF Sales
http://www.jeremysilman.com/chess_bi..._dmr_gmbt.html

That's the same author creating a DVD about how to play the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit, and also writing an article vehemently denouncing it.

Catching a Chicken unawares is cool... I done it a few times myself. You have to learn though that Chickens are Smart Critters & the chance of doing them in again is usually nil. JMHO

There are many "Foxy Openings" DVDs and I haven't seen any that involve traps oranything like that. They cover your standard openings. (sicilian, french, ruy lopez, ect.)

Well its possible that he wrote the article denouncing it after he researched the lines to do the DVD.

Um I think Jeremy Silman is on of the best chess writers, he's wrote stuff like: How to Reasses You'r Chess (Tournament Players), and The Ametures Mind (great for players of all streangths). He is definitely on of the most entertaning and best chess teachers i have read and I would say that anything that bears his stamp is worth a look. I would like to see the video even if he wouldn't play the opening, besides I looked at the article and at the top it says "by some one that isn't silman", im sure there are a lot of articles that he dosen't think are the best on his site and he supports a wide range of opions (or is too busy to ever go on_any other Ideas?). Actually the name Foxy videos sounded dumb to me but when I learned of this "questionable narrator" it sounded very interisting. If silman is really PERSONALLY explaining the moves with a demonstration board (I may misunderstand what is going on) I'd say that the video would be a really cool watch. yeah like that.

Fromper's links were to a DVD and an article by Andrew Martin, not Jeremy Silman.

O have some Andrew Martin's DVDs that i got from Chessbase and they are pretty cool I also have the Power Play serier from Daniel King in DVD (also from Chessbase) and they were excellent. I don't know about this foxy opening series, but if it has the same level that the chessbase opening series they are very good material

I didn't realise exactly what was happening. I do now. I bet that thoes larry king viedoes are good, I read a book by him once and I really liked it.
