Impressive list of accomplishments for 2024, and an ambitious schedule for 2025. I would suggest forgetting about how many weightlifting exercises you can perform, and instead focus on how much muscle you can build in a 12 month program.

Congrats on your busy 2024 from a fellow father-of-a-Beatrix!

Two questions about your 6-week Semi-Slav course:

1. Do you know what the day/time will be? Or is it based on the cohort doing some kind of Doodle-type selection?

2. I am rated 1000 USCF and my repertoire is KID vs anything-but-e4 (I play a hyperaccel Dragon Sicilian). I've been playing this universal KID for 2 years and am not sure it still suits me. Do you have a sales pitch for learning a universal Semi-Slav rep at my rating level? (Note also that I formerly played the Caro-Kann and enjoyed leaving it behind for 1... c5)
