Hi all, 
MNb, and many others look at the Petroff's almost as Black to play and draw against 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3.

'Fight 1.e4 like Caruana' Petroff repertoire
Anyone checked this repertoire from IM Christof Sielecki aka Chessexplained? It's a complete 1.e4 e5 repertoire based on the lines Caruana plays. It is on Chessable. 
What's your opinion on it?
