Best Regards,

All these results are in FIDE rated games or in on line blitz?

Because I have a friend that has more achievements than you(he has won GMs in bullet quite many times) yet he had never announced himself an expert in anything(and his FIDE rating is 1815 points higher than yours).

The whole conclusion is that you give too much value to on line results that most consider them totally unimportant just because you have no other results.

It's the FIDE results that count and you have none!

As I said above, I have never played under the instances of FIDE, intentionally. By the way, I had some help of a FM for this book, in case you doubt about the quality inside. Additionally to that, I am a Senior IT consultant, and did verify all variations with Stockfish 8. Regards.

For your rating both the book and the system are perfect.

You couldn't find better even if you tried.

Fantastic, so I will play hippo and practice tactics and endgames

And dont pay attention to the haters and jealous people, they will never ever release a book even about cooking eggs; if you dont like the system just dont buy the book and continue with your openings.

It is basically the Hippo system played reversed with white. The hippo system is characterized by the development of both bishops in fianchetto. So it means b3, Bb2, g3 and Bg2. Hope it helps.

I don't pay attention, don't worry. In his superb book Tiger's Modern, International Grandmaster Tiger Hillarp Persson wrote a chapter dedicated to the system, and wrote : "There is nothing wrong with the Hippo, and I intend to show this.". 😊

Modern defense was treated exactly the same way a few decades ago. It was considered as losing by Reuben Fine ("Ideas behind openings"). Things are changing with time. The same can be applied with Qd6 Scandinavian. Even better, it was not even considered at all in any book. Any fool playing Qd6 was laughed at. Bronstein was a very creative player who did not care about what books were saying. Bronstein did not care about what other 'wiser' people told him. No, because Bronstein was a creative Genius of chess. David Ionovitch passed away a few years ago unfortunately, and is surely is very happy from up there to notice that so many books are being written about his fool's idea Qd6, which is nowadays considered as the Scandinavian main line. I am not pretending the same will apply with the Hippo. But anything is possible.
