Opening prep is much easier if you are confident that your opponent will play a particular line. Would have been much more difficult if he had a wider repertoire

Exactly! As I explained in the video, I only went for this line because he's played in a very unconvincing fashion against it. But it wasn't a bluff, because I did have the Benoni on my repertoire, so if he varied I wouldn't have been a fish out of water.

a depressing amount of prep! your catalan blog was good . An interesting anti catalan line is 1d4 nf6 2c4 e6 3g3 d5 3nf3 h6 idea Bd6 and e5 as Aronian Vs Carlsen 2020 and has psychological value ,like your anti KID line

Yeah, I noticed that line with ...h6 too, it's an interesting idea.

Thanks for the video. At 19:28, Qe7 doesn't look so simple, did you calculate it all out to a draw?

You're welcome. I don't really remember, I think he played Rd1 fairly quickly, so it didn't come to calculation of that line.

Preparation like this, in a position demanding precision, is so threatening that almost anything would be better than to do into a game where the opponent may be prepared like this and you definitely don't have this kind of preparation.

It may be so, but as I answered another person who commented, this is not really relevant to lower levels.

the amount of theory is crazy... be as mere 1800 just tries to get a new fresh position and outplay from that

Luckily, as 1800 you don't need this amount of theory. I made the video so that people can realise how it is on the higher levels, but this is not quite applicable to lower levels, where life seems to be happier when it comes to theory. :)
