I wasn't aware of Chessbook. I'm cautiously optimistic trying it out that I'll learn something with it.

Hi Nate, I'm interested to know if you still keep a lichess/Chessbase file for openings you have got a Chessable course for? My first instinct is that this is unnecessary but I can definitely see how having a file with your own notes on why certain moves are played and what the plans for certain lines are would be helpful not to mention the benefit you mentioned in part 1 derived from trying to remember the lines to make the lichess file in the first place.

Maybe I am over thinking this, but the "one move" rule, does that mean you follow the course up to a move you would play differently and go from there? Is there maybe an example you can give so I can better understand?

If I'm using a course I will usually just follow the recommendation. The one move rule is for reviewing your own games. You update your file to the first move you would have played differently if you played another game that followed the same line.

I agree with u: Chessbook is better than Chessable to build your own opening book. That said, Chessable is a very useful tool and I'll probably get your course 'cause I am a big fan of 1. Nf3.
