The website where Dan is creating courses for openings is www.chessreps.com
The first course I created is “Introduction to the French Defense” I am now working on a second course “The Traxler Counterattack in the Two Knights Defense” These are repertoire courses for the Black player. The French Defense course will be released near the end of the June 2026. The site has many courses and they charge a reasonable annual fee to have access to all their courses. I have found their course creation software to be very good. It uses the LiChess “everyone” opening database to indicate what to do in the most commonly played lines by average players.
