    I've played the French for many years and have some success with I but got a little bored with it. tired of the cramped positions and many times just being crushed. Your videos have brought new life and enthusiasm into to it. I will study it more and play it again with new ideas and understanding.
    thanks
    Wayne

    sick analysis much appreciated, I've just started playing the alekhine and white often transposes to these lines and I was getting crushed, you've helped me raise my rating by over 100 points, wishing you all the best and hope to see you making more chess videos when you are ready!

    Just a thing I wanted to point out. In that game, Constantin was black and Firouzja was white. Other than that, excellent video. Like, wow, that was very informative and insightful.

    @Jonathan schrantz, I would suggest you to make a Chessable course for Black repertoire with french defense including these games. I am desperately looking for these completed powerful repertoires starting with ...Nf6 classical french repertoire. You must publish it like a paid course

    Nice vid! Dunno about chessbase, Lichess studies make it easy to follow along and try different variations etc. Also, are you saying Mangus? :D
    Also, you make it sound like Firouzja is black in the game, but the graphic below says he was white?

    what would you suggest to play against the burn variation where white plays Bg5 instead of e5?I know you have made a video on mccutcheon but there are many sidelines in the mccutcheon.

    What do you do if black plays 3. E5? Doesn't that completely avoid your Steinitz lines?

    • @glenhoffman4035
      @glenhoffman4035 4 года назад

      3. e5 is the Advance variation. It does avoid the Steinitz lines, but a well-prepared French Defense player has lines against that as well. In fact, I find the Advance variation to be one of the easiest to play against.

  • @wolfhard2420
    @wolfhard2420 Год назад

    @ 21:35 you claim that it wins lots of material after the exchange. In fact white remains with 2 rooks and 2 pieces versus black with a piece and the queen. The only compensation is 2 more pawns for a piece down. Lots of material more? Lol.

  • @Serfdomftw
    @Serfdomftw 4 года назад

    Most logical move for me is Bishop D3 No point castling when the opponent has 6 pieces blocking up the centre. King is not even close to being in danger.

    As a French player, dislike seeing White Nc3. Seems like a good counter even if it blocks c pawn. Takes the wind out of my attack of the central pawns.

    • @HoneyBadgerz
      @HoneyBadgerz 4 года назад

      Yea same thing happens with me too...how should I proceed if the opponent takes exd5?

    • @aaronp5118
      @aaronp5118 4 года назад

      ​@@HoneyBadgerz Well there are advantages, you're playing a symmetrical opening against White which puts you at a good chance to equalize. It is a rather open position style of game but I would focus on creating imbalances to make things interesting, such as castling the opposite side of the opponent. Also, instead of the usual exd5 maybe do Qxd5? I'm not expert at playing the French though so take it with a grain of salt...

    • @maelstrom57
      @maelstrom57 4 года назад

      When you reach a certain rating, you'll find it's a blessing when white plays the exchange as you basically can't lose if you know what you're doing. I personally play (after 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 ed ed 4 Nf3) 4... Nc6 followed by Bd6 and Nge7 (look it up). I've played the French for four years and I've only lost one tournament game in the exchange variation.

    • @civilization5069
      @civilization5069 4 года назад

      @@maelstrom57 yes its great if opponent plays bg5 and acts dumb but otherwise its still annoying. plus its online blitz and french players surely dont want drawish open positions and flag each other in endgames
