Loved the video. although u cant learn the opening in 7 minutes, but as a sneak-peak it works as the best one I found. Thank u, didnt heard/thoufht of playing dxe after 3.Nc3, only abaut winawer or tarasch (if it atacks e4 the other way)
I'm so lucky this video came out right when I needed it lol, and god bless you for how concise and clear you are, I'm gonna binge watch this for a while for sure :')
5:15 - Nice point about playing 3.. dxe4 in either 3. Nc3 or 3. Nd2 cases to keep theory to a minimal.
love your videos, you're really great at explaining the strategy in an easily digestible way. thank you!
That was expeditive !
Another great video, I'll give this opening a try
Nice video. I might actually try the French in my next games.
In the Rubinstein variation people make the mistake of recapturing with the queen on f6. Natural moves like Nf3 and Bd3 can suddenly trap the queen if black doesn't throw in h6.
Papa-Ticulat gambit vs french goes brrrr
1:23 basically, never pin your own queen unless your king cannot be checked by the middle piece.
Always respond to French defense haters with this: "There are no bad bishops, only bad players." The idea is that good players patiently wait for the position to open up when their bad bishop becomes a monster. Also saves the bishop for the endgame where bishops are better than knights. For example, caro kann players get their bishop out but usually have to allow that bishop to be taken by a white knight, this surrendering the bishop pair.
In the Spassky variation of the Classical Caro-Kann, the light-square bishops for White AND Black get traded off. The true drawback with the Caro-Kann is Black can’t play c7 to c5 in one move.
@@pastorofmuppets4552 Good point...but in the advance caro the it's usually bishop for knight.
@@hosiahjones yes, there are pros and cons with just about any opening. There’s a variation of the French called the Fort Knox in which Black trades off the light-square bishop at the cost of some time.
@@pastorofmuppets4552 My favorite is the fort Trent. (My made up name for it). Check out online blitz match from a few years ago between Lawrence Trent & Danny Rensch.
Thanks. I learned more from you about the Advanced variation that I did from a Grandmaster teaching it.
the better gothem 😊
1:29 it’s best to keep the pawn tension and play Bd7 before taking. Then when you do take, you can go down the line.
How to counterplay French defence kings Indian attack and French defence two knights variations
Kia play on the queenside trying to make a queen and be aware of checkmates threats, generally they are all defendable
nice sweater
If you are white, against the french, learn the Schlechter variation or the King's indian attack
Black generally crumbles ! 😊
What is the Slechter variation?
@@efthorpe sorry it was called Schlechter and not Slechter
E4 e6 d4 d5 Bd3
Thanks. I found a video about it on UA-cam. I am going to definitely try it out.
With the white pieces, I like to play the Tarrasch variation, but then I get lost pretty quickly because I don’t have the opening theory down.
First!
