The lines from the video are in the description to the video.
I'm ready to answer your questions.
This looks like a very nice set of videos, I am looking forward to watching them.

Thank you for putting the effort into making this, I am sure many of our community members can benefit.
Very good effort, I have my own self made "theory" against the Catalan, but it is of course nowhere near as detailed and as sophisticated as in this series. Since Catalan is a challenging opening I'm definitely interested in this series.

However I just have one technical observation: loading the video previews for that many videos make loading the page erratic and a bit annoying. It would be nice if you only gave links ( perhaps with only one video inlined for demo ). You may create an own team and use the team forum to post a thread for each video and then give links to those threads. This way you could give a table of contents in text links.
Very nice. Thanks a lot for all the videos.
Nice. I plan on learning from your vids. Not sure if these message boards use that spoiler formatting.
