Thanks for your clear vision on how to play chess. Very helpful.
I recognized the first model game. It is a famous one :)
Nice content!
Thanks!
Great video, I like the structure you used. I'm starting to become a fan of an opening I have always hated lol.
I hate it as well, only know some things about it that other people may find helpful. And played it almost my whole career, by mistake (I'd say). 😁
Some things are very confusing to me in the French defense. Like sometimes Black castles on an open C-file. It looks dangerous to me but I'm sure there is logic behind it. @@BadBishopChess
Tnx
For sharing .boost my understanding of french defense.
Subscribed, I really needed this video since I love the French defense
Your link to this over at lichess wasn't working for me. But excellent video!
I really like your videos about good pawn structure. Can you tell me some sources to learn these pawn structures? Thanks!
Glad you like them! As for the resources, I don't use any concrete book or course. It is mainly my own program which I use when teaching my students. But I was thinking of starting a project (working on a video) soon, related with the question what are good resources to use when studying chess and specific chess concepts. :)
I am 65+ years old lady, as a Chess Lover and want to be a real Chess Player Myself. I really like that video and I did these type of mistakes altime but don't know how should I escape these mistakes without any hesitations 😮 please advise me about correct moves and oblige.
Thanks.
