is your stance on this usually
36:22
okay so short answers uh yes uh i in my course uh i try to keep a similarity for example you will see in this e4 course uh it goes like e4 c5 knight f3 e6 now you know your bishops will develop on d3 and e3 whether it is khan whether it is uh paulsen or whatever you know your setup Like in that of you know exactly you go for English attack.
36:48
Whenever black plays h5 you are playing bishop e2.
36:50
Now of course I can also make a course where I say this position h5 you play queen g2.
36:55
This position h5 you play something else.
36:57
But I try to keep it in such a way.
37:00
I try to curate my course in such a way.

right?

So when you do teach a class to these ultra strong 2700 players, do you focus on a certain aspect of the game? Obviously, you're known for your opening preparation, but are you also presenting like in game studies and stuff or showing games? Or is it strictly opening?
19:21
Interestingly, I never do opening.
19:23
Oh, wow.
19:25
Nowadays, I don't do opening at all.
19:26
And also earlier.
19:28
So when protest training was formed, it was very clear that it will not focus on opening.
19:32
It's also very difficult to teach opening in a group session, right? Like you might have your individual own test and let's say I'm teaching something on Nimzo, but maybe it is not on your repertoire at all from either side.
