First off Congratulations! I went through your course and I've been playing it for a couple weeks now. At my level the 2 d5 lines are most popular followed by the KID lines. I'll have to go through the course again to make sure I'm more familiar with the repertoire. It's nice to see hard work pay off.

Enjoyed the post, plus the game embedding is a nice touch! Didn't know you could do that on Substack

Yes, the games are really nice. They've said they're working on embedded studies as well.

Slightly different situation to the Chessable course - but I do worry with putting out YT recaps of all my games that I'm "leaking" a lot more of my prep than I'd like to. But similar to your course, probably none (or very few) of my opponents are actually sifting through those videos (or are unaware of the channel to begin with!) - but rather just checking the database instead.

Edit: and of course, congrats on the tournament win!

Yeah, I think sifting through socials requires a much higher level of commitment than just checking for games in the db. If someone is willing to watch all my YT videos I guess they deserve some extra intel!

Congrats. I leaked most of my white repertoire and my online alt account in my Chessable course and as far as I can tell, no opponents have known about it either. We need to get better at marketing.
