If you like the positional setup you see with the Hippo, then check out my recent Chessable course on the opening here: https://www.chessable.com/the-hippopotamus-defence/course/66227/

I’m currently playing in the Reykjavik Open 2023 and my friend Blair Connell (of Jobava London System fame) + special guests will be live streaming all of my games on the GingerGM Twitch channel. Check my posts for the full schedule this week.
Let me know in the comments if you like these stream videos; could they be shorter/longer, more/less editing etc. Cheers!
