9:08 After Rad1, engine recommends Qe5 with huge advantage for black (-1.15). The second best is Bf6 (-1.07) and the third best is d4 (-0.83), all of them favor black player.
I haven't played much of the advance variation, but seems either you get a good space advantage or black goes horribly wrong. I think I'll have to give it a whirl. thanks for running down some common themes for this!
Same here. What's interesting is that the opponents who play French aren't really that prepared in it anyway since there is so much theory. So, it's psychological because they know players like me and you hate facing it.
Hi Igor. I have a question for you. At 7.47, as White, instead of Kh1, why dont you just play Be3 and gain one tempo in terms of development? If the dark-square bishop guards the diagonal g1-a7, why do you need to take the White king to h1? Thank you so much.
Absolutely brilliant instruction, and analysis I viewed, liked, subscribed, and set up notification, its not a good time for taking lessons right now, but perhaps soon.
"Quite" a big differences between the discovery attacks on the black queen. When Bb5 gives white almost +10 with a crushing position, provides Bg6 an +0.8 "advantage" for white and -to say the least- quite playable position for black with open h-file, menacing/mobile central pawns. Looks like some serious counterplay for me. Probably a draw.

GM Smirnov should have named the gambit at the very beginning of this video. As some other commenter wrote: this is the Milner-Barry Gambit. I didn't watch the entire video but was the gambit declined covered?
First 10 to 12 moves of different variations that the GM shows are correct. But as the variations continues he doesn't show the best moves that are sometimes visible to 1100 rated players
In the line Qd6 (after capturing pawn on e5) Nb5, after Qb6; Be3, there is Qa5 and white has nothing more than a draw by perpetual (Bd2; Qb6, Be3 Qa5). But great thanks for all these tricky lines, worth learning and surprise opponents at least at club level (which is my case) !
This is at 5:40 of the video. And if white plays Qb3 followed by Rc1? If ...Rc8 Rc1 Rxc1 Rxc1 White is still threatening Nc2+. I'm going to check this line with an engine when I get a chance.
You have great content, 2 thumbs up, but I don't like the funnel/landing-page/email-list marketing trick you play on people with your "Free Masterclass"...simply because it is a lie. Nothing about it is a "Masterclass". It shows 4 very common "rules" or goals when playing chess that are 100% standard....the rest of the 1-hour video is basically showing a Magnus C. game (which anyone could look at on multiple websites) and pitching your classes with a "limited to 100 people only" discount for writing a testimonial for a class they have not even gotten yet........

Just don't play it against someone who always plays the French. It can easily backfire!
I always get frustated when my opponent plays the french as I don't have a clear response. Thanks for the video

yeah me too
After Qxp on e5 (2:55) what if Q goes to b8 ? Happens when I play the mac computer
I just love that "check to the king" expression.. is there any other piece you can check on the chessboard besides the king and I am not aware of?

Mainline analysis starts at 7:23.
What to do if Black pushes the pawn to c4 at 1:31???

I often play Queen E2 as second move. Mainly because French Defense players premove D5. But now they're just a pawn down.
Question ❓ how do you attach the stone wall attach
9:52 Q-h5 is mate in one -- right?
Kg8
Thanks a lot sir for helping us soo much, it's really helpful..❣️❣️❣️❣️
You make it look so easy, thanks again Igor. Nice strategies.
What’s the name of this opening variation?
beautiful stuff!
you are great!!!
thank you
“Attacking the desperate Queen “ 😂😂
Black is fine after
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. c3 Nc6 5. Nf3 Qb6 6. Bd3 cxd4 7. cxd4 Bd7 8. Be2 Nge7 9. Nc3 Nf5 10. Na4 Qa5+
After nc3, what about a6
Amazing variation ❤️🙌😍
"Playing like Mikhail Tal! 😃" 😂😂😂

I'm amazed he actually deigned to answer you.
Very helpful
I can't wait. ❤
Nice video.
French is very tricky, thanks for the useful trap!
thx gm
GM Smirnov should have named the gambit at the very beginning of this video. As some other commenter wrote: this is the Milner-Barry Gambit. I didn't watch the entire video but was the gambit declined covered?
awesome thanks Igor. You rook!
Glad you like it!
Been losing on French Defense
Let me try these techniques now
First 10 to 12 moves of different variations that the GM shows are correct.
But as the variations continues he doesn't show the best moves that are sometimes visible to 1100 rated players
It is common in all videos
For example?
Nice gambit
In the line Qd6 (after capturing pawn on e5) Nb5, after Qb6; Be3, there is Qa5 and white has nothing more than a draw by perpetual (Bd2; Qb6, Be3 Qa5). But great thanks for all these tricky lines, worth learning and surprise opponents at least at club level (which is my case) !

Milner barry attack! i always play that...
Tanks
It is pointless to try to memorize these various attacks and defenses, but I have learned about certain philosophies and general position.
Just had a French defense and lost to it. I did the first three moves right, but then . . . Now I know what to do.
Nice traps
Instead o-o, o-o-o for BLACK. White attaché failed 😅
I hope no one watching this plays me.
this happens only in YT
👍
