Felix Blohberger: Reti Opening
1.c4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.g3 d4 4.Bg2 Nc6 5.0-0 Nh6
Felix Blohberger presents a repertoire idea against the Reti Opening, in which you can determine the game early on with two unusual knight moves: with 4…Nc6 and 5…Nh6 Black indicates that they want to see their advanced pawn firmly anchored on d4. This set-up poses some practical problems for White. Blohberger first analyses the continuations 6.d3 Nf5 7.Na3 and 6.e4 f6 7.d3 Nf7, which are not critical for Black. The critical variation goes like this: 6.e3 Nf5 7.e4 Ne7 8.e5! – a novelty and the only move that complicates Black’s plan with 8…Ng6.
Marin: Petroff
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4 d5 6.Bd3 Bd6 7.0-0 0-0 8.c4 c6 9.Re1 Bf5
Mihail Marin analyses a line that Ian Nepomniachtchi likes to play with Black, including against Hikaru Nakamura in the 2024 Candidates Tournament: After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4 d5 6.Bd3 he continued with 6…Bd6, followed by 7.0-0 0-0 8.c4 c6 9.Re1 Bf5 10.Qb3 Qd7. In his analysis of the game, Marin discusses the different ideas in this position that the Russian has already had to defend against, e.g. against Carlsen, Vachier-Lagrave and others. “The Petroff Defence can be a very entertaining opening!”

Agus (verified owner) –
he would cover all possible silly reactions that could derail my well-thought opening, and how to deal with them
Bambang (verified owner) –
The ideas taught in this course helped me defend against a brutal attack in my last tournament. I was able to secure the half-point once I defused the attack.

I appreciate the effort gone into it. It’s helped me become better at my openings and I’m looking forward to what he has next in store. Cheers.

I’ve only reviewed all the black lines but I am liking the author’s approach of adding exercises after each chapter to make sure you are looking at the positions themselves rather than just routinely memorizing the lines without absorbing the content of his commentary.

Really good course

I bought this course with video few weeks ago (thanks to @JRHat for recommending it to me).
