If you were curious, yes, my profile picture has a picture of every World Championship that Magnus has won, namely, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2021.

My favorite Chessable courses along with my reviews:

1: Lifetime Repertoires: Giri's 1.e4 - Part 1:- 

Key features:

- Clear and concise explanations which make you feel the position

- Good and practical recommendations avoiding massive theory blocks

- Counters repertoires fighting against this one with good lines

- New recommendations which are approved by the modern engines

- The one con I would say is that the support level is COMPLETELY FAKE. I'd rate it as a medium, and this has also been mentioned in the course reviews. 

Type of course: This course is an opening course from the White side which covers 1.e4 e5 from White. It covers mostly all major responses, and it dwells around the Slow Italian (Guico Pianissimo). The lines are amazing and I still use them and probably will for a good amount of time.

It is recommended for players of Intermediate (1200-1600 [I assume this is FIDE rating]), Advanced (1600-2000), Expert (2000-2200) and Master (2200+) rated players.
