    Thanks so much. Loved that you didn't go too in depth for each variation, but covered the main concepts like the critical f4 square with explanation. That was very appreciated.

    I simply love the way how you explained the critical middle game plans along with explaining the theory of the moves. Most of the chess youtubers solely tell you just bunch of theories, which lacks in details of how you should find your way throughout the middle game. Your explanation of common positions and key ideas in the opening is just spectacular. You earned a sub!

      It must be the thumbnail game. More CAPS in title and eye catching thumbnails thats how gotham made it. Yeah the content is good.

    I was meeting the french with Nc3 but wasn't satisfied with the middle games i got, this seems way more fun

    • @ChessGeek1
      @ChessGeek1  2 роки тому

      Yeah, usually best to keep c3 as an option!

    You know your stuff! very impressed. i will try this.
    But I have a feeling the kind of guys I play will probably be playing Queen b6, and maybe even c6, but I can investigate that my self

    • @ChessGeek1
      @ChessGeek1  11 місяців тому

      Thank you! Indeed yeah there are many other variations to consider, and at different levels players might play different things. On lichess, there should be a feature to see what the most common replies are for each rating, so maybe use that?

    I still play 3.Nc3 but the Rubinstein example surprisingly helped. Tarrasch is easier to learn though

    in the steinitz variation if they don't play f6 but Qb6 what are we supposed to do please ?

    • @gdbatle9967
      @gdbatle9967 Рік тому

      3 months late but since Qb6 puts pressure on white’s d4 and b2 pawns, white can sufficiently defend the d4 pawn with both knights by going Ndf3 (from d2) with the other knight being on e2, and the b2 pawn is still defended by the c1 bishop because it never had the chance to move

    Thank you for doing this . I hate french defense , they always get my D4 pawn and I never recover. Now i have a weapon💪🏻

    • @ChessGeek1
      @ChessGeek1  Рік тому

      Interesting move. I would think usually black tries for c5 before Nc6
