I don't get to say it enough so I'm adding it here. I really appreciate what you're doing and I appreciate your supporters that are allowing you to do this full time. Their support supports those of us that can't support but still want to get your Hippo wisdom. Thank you!
Thanks for all your great free content! I have a suggestion: could you please talk more about pawn structure when playing the Hippo Defense? I think it's one of the important things we should know when using this defense.
Good stuff. Thanks for analyzing the N’s breakthrough sacrifice on h4, if white tries to lock up the kingside. In fact, thanks for covering the kingside tactics in pressing home B’s attack. Helps raise tactical perception and confidence. Cheers!
Instructive as usual. When to move the c and f "support" pawns, as white, and when to move them, requires a demanding analysis/nerve😊. Thanks, Solomon.
A lot of Hippo games actually end up looking like this. After those first ten moves, things can quickly go crazy with the Hippo player at the driver's seat. And for such a "passive" opening, pushing pawns in front of our King at the correct times is actually one of the key attacking ideas in the Hippo. That, and never giving up our Bishops as long as they have potential.
hi Solomon have you thought of sharing your questions regarding the moves on the queenside that Kasparov did in the Hippo game that you analyzed. I’ve reached out to SME in the past and people will many times appreciate your questions especially if I come with a humble tone.
Could we get another discount code? I just found your course and want to buy it but. Well I guess I can just wait but I would def buy it right now if i could use that june2024 again.

That’s a great advertisement for the hippo ( and kings Indian )
You teach a great job! Thanks - much appreciated…

Question: Does your course also cover the hippo with white?
Thanks
Solomon (and anyone else): As Black playing the Hippo, would you rather see White play O-O or O-O-O and why?
Solomon, I'd love to see a speedrun from 800 to 2000 with you playing the Hippo as W and B. Should be good for 10-12 videos. Any chance of that?
