Great Course!
I have spent so much time struggling to figure out what to play and these courses took all that worry and stress away from me. And unlike so many other courses, this one covers lines that people at my club actually play instead of only the stuff GMs play which has been a huge help!

Caro-Kann Gold
I never played the Caro-Kann in my youth, and now I question that choice. Matt makes the Caro crystal clear, and honestly, it's hard to go wrong. I highly recommend this course if you are looking for new openings for Black. You will not be disappointed.

Solid without feeling boxed in
This course made the Caro-Kann my favourite course as black. While being very solid, the also makes sure that you keep the initiative whenever possible. Some other lines of the Caro-Kann I tried out before I purchased this course often gave me the feeling of being boxed in.
