Anyone else just trying to beat their uncle
I rarely like or subscribe on youtube content but this one is definetly amazing content
The French Defense is solid for beginners and intermediates, but it's a bit passive for my taste (I'm about 2000), and 1. e6 has the weakness of blocking in the light-squared Bishop. That's why I personally prefer 1. d6 (Pirc Defense), as I'm going to play a King's Indian anyway so I don't need to worry about blocking in my dark-squared Bishop.
@Remote Chess Academy. The available pgn download is a sicilian game. Not a French game.
Making long videos by talking too many unnecessary boring things killing the interest to learn chess move
why you take on 11.57 with your bishop en not with your pion? als you take with your pion you brake the center
i love the french, but unfortunately at the lower levels you are going to get the exchange 90% of the time, which makes the french unplayable.
Thank u for telling
I'm a 950 ten minutes player and I usually use the Karo Kann. Should I try to switch to the French defense?
