Created near entirely by Gothams Coach GM Arturs Neiksans (with slight deviations by the silicon beast), this course has the highest coverage score out of all the Caro Kann opening repertoires on chessreps, you cannot find yourself in a bad position once you master this course!!
Do you need a way to defeat the Scandinavian Defense from black? I recommend taking the pawn and following it up with Nf3 and then controlling the center with 2 pawns. Mainly built for 1000-2500+
Barcza system transposes between the Kings Indian Attack, Reti and Catalon lines depending on how black plays. The idea behind it is to try to transpose into the line that provides the greatest practical and theoretical advantage.
Aman Hambleton's (GM, Chessbrah) King's Indian Defense as Black, distilled from his rating speedrun into 10 core lines. One universal setup - ...g6, Bg7, d6, Nf6, O-O - answers everything White throws at it: 1.e4, 1.d4, Trompowsky, London, Austrian Attack, Four Pawns, Fianchetto.
One of the big down sides of the Catalan is, no matter what move order you choose, you spend a lot of time with black taking you into other openings: KID, Dutch, modern, Slav, QGA, Englund gambit, Albin counter gambit, etc. This course gives some basic lines for Catalan and most of that other stuff.
Aman Hambleton's (GM, Chessbrah) King's Indian Attack as White, distilled from his rating speedrun into 10 core lines. One universal setup - always 1.e4, then d3, Nd2, g3, Bg2, O-O, h3, Kh2 - meets everything Black plays: e5, Caro-Kann, French, Sicilian, Scandinavian, Petrov.
The undoubtedly best version of the Dutch, I couldn't find any other Dutch course which covered all of the positions that I see in my games so I made my own with inspiration from Gothams Coach GM Arturs Neiksans & HangingPawns YT
I’ve had some trouble with a line in the Slav where the f3 knight can become pinned. I created this study to enable targeted arena sparring to address the weakness.
