These chess opening videos fro chess.com are really well explained and important so you are clear what you are doing with each piece and most important why you are doing it!!
How does black play this Shalouw(?) variation with 4. Bf5 when he get's into this: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 Bf5 5. Qb3 Qb6 6.Qxb6 axb6 7.cxd5 cxd5 or 7... Nxd5 8.Nxd5 cxd5 and black have a double isolated pawns on the b-file in the endgame. Sure an open a-file but it's not enough. Or is there something I missed? Or some chances of other move-orders to avoid this? Because I really like this opening else as black! But what to do in this example and endgame case?
I have one question, I am quite bad at chess so maybe I don't see it but: Suppose black makes the mistake of moving the bishop @3:50, leading to "Queen to b3" If black responds by b6, wouldn't it prevent the Queen from attacking? Thanks in advance!
0:01 "gulp"
Very good introduction and explanations. I've think I've found a new secondary defense as Black.

3:58 if white tries to win material and black lets him while just opening lines then black gets a huge initiative

Thanks in advance!
it weakens the light squares, it's strategically bad, the c6 and a6 squares won't be able to be guarded by pawns anymore for the rest of the game.
Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
Why isn't there a cool chess.com jingle at the end of these videos?
Could the chebaneko slav be explained?
What about g6
