@ginger_gm @chessable @richardpalliser Good stuff, guys! I had a look at these lines back in 2019 for my Sicilian course as Black. I was surprised to find that this is much better than you might think at first. Leads to good fighting positions and certainly will surprise people!

What is Indian school of chess? How did we get such avalanche of talents in recent times? Here is my take on the subject with @chesscom. It starts with Sultan Khan and ends with Gukesh. Have a look at the first part of this unique series. #Chess #India

Thats a nice checkmate! 😎
This 1 e4 c5 2 Be2 is a very interesting idea, aiming for an ideal Dutch.
It's a nice 'system' opening, meaning knowing the basic plans is the key.
Hopefully I explain them all in the videos!

Magnus, but not Carlsen @NotCarlsen

@ginger_gm @chessable @richardpalliser Just tried my luck with 2 Be2 after watching your course intro and got this nice checkmate. Will definitely buy😀

❛❛ Notable Chess Quotes ❜❜

“If we fail it’s not because our machines are too intelligent, or not intelligent enough. If we fail it’s because we grew complacent and limited our ambitions. There’s one thing only a human can do. That’s dream. So let us dream big.”
by Garry Kasparov
