  1. Would someone mind explaining or directing me to something that explains how the French isn't simply worse than the Caro Kann? Especially in each advance variation, it seems much more active for black with the active bishop.

  2. How about the MacCutcheon Variation???

  3. Ya its great video for french defence but i felt Sleppy after watching it plz bring in more intresting manner bro…

  4. Definitely aimed for everyone to understand there. Which is awesome. You put so much work into this, it definitely deserves a like

  5. 1:17 What should we do if White captured the Pawn at d5?

  6. When we play knight h5then white can simply move on to G4

  7. Very nice explanation; I'll definitely look into your other videos as well. Thanks a bunch!

  8. 0:18-you can come out as a second move with the right black horse so the white bishop has to beat it

  10. I always play the Paulsen Attack if my opponent plays the French defense .

  11. its great that you explain everything to help us. thank you.

  12. I really like your videos so much that I made a notebook in which I write all openings and variations… But while writing like you know, it is difficult to write without coordinates. So is it possible for you to include coordinates on board from next video?

  13. Dereque, this video has helped me come to grips with playing against the FD. I used to go KIA but since this video, my win percentage against it has greatly improved. Thanks!
