What is this E6 B6 black opening against all white openings?

I enjoyed the course.  It's much longer than an hour I think 11 lessons at 10-15 minutes each of you just watch the videos once plus there are Practice games with Analysis and a full PGN to review the course.

 

I have seen the positions in the first few chapters a lot in games recently and have put some of the tricks to good use.

Not sure I would pay full price for it but if you follow Gotham on Instagram he puts up 30-50% off sales up pretty regularly so if you're patient it could be a Good deal.

Stick with the King’s Indian. Playing e6 and b6 against everything makes it seem like someone afraid to play the game.

Thanks for this great reply. Very insightful,  I will see if I can get that instagram deal. Thanks for your review.

@Rest: Thanks for all other replies as well. I have been a bit busy so was not much in this forum, however I appreciate all the help by forum members here.

I know this was a while ago but I think its worth trying the reverse form of the London System as Black (I think its called the 'Slav setup').  That way you still play the Scandnavian agaisnt 1. e4 with d5 but you also play d4/d5, nf3/d5, or c4/d5.  You could also just start it with e6 then d5 to take back if White takes the pawn so you still have the d5/c6 hold on the Queenside.

Otherwise I've been tyring out the e6/b6 setup and am thinking of getting the course with an 1. e4 NY style bundle and the positions so far pre-course seem similar to me (it resembles a cross between Classical Dutch/Queens Indian) but the win rate hasn't been so good that may just be due to a lack of experience/sample size.

I’m a little late, but I did want to say as someone who has his e6b6 course that it actually had about 3 hours of video, along with the pgn. Somewhere on his website he has more specifics.
