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.
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?
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!
Your lesson on the Ruy Lopez Spanish opening got me two out of ten more wins. Someone suggested I try the French for black, surged YouTube and am glad I found that you did a video on it. Thanks very much. Your lessons are excellent.

Great presentation! Thank you.
When we play knight h5then white can simply move on to G4
Sorry paun to g5
Sorry Paun to G4
Not paun to G5
Which is the best opening for black
Dereque u r amazing
Very nice explanation; I'll definitely look into your other videos as well. Thanks a bunch!
0:18-you can come out as a second move with the right black horse so the white bishop has to beat it

This is an excellent video on the French advance. It certainly helped me understand the ideas. Thank for for your effort in creating these videos.
very concise, good job!
My english is not perfect and i am not a chess champion, but thank you for this video
Thank you so much
FINALLY someone did a good Youtube video on the French defence!
This guy talks slow as a snail. Listen to him at 2x speed to save time guys.
Good stuff. I recently started picking up the French Defense again after a long hiatus and this helped correct some misrememberings I had.
The scariest thing here is the effiel tower with lights on
Also e6
These quick overviews by Dereque are a great place to start.
Thank you sir
