Im only rated 1750 on lichess however I only play the French as black and this video was super helpful. I’ve actually ran into some of the early traps like losing your queen to bishop B5 check. After I had that happen to me once I never let it happen again but it was funny to see you go over the line and I also learned a lot more about the other traps. I’d love to see some QGD stuff or more French defense videos. Great video.
Thanks for your reply and we are happy to hear that you found the video instructive. Hopefully you will now never fall into a trap within the French Defense as you are now prepared for them 😉. If you are interested in the Queen's Gambit Declined, you can have a look on our Queen's Gambit series that is available on our TH-cam channel. Here the link to the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL9RQPxG_e-Ln7LKSgIniZQNV0gflmcK5K.html
When I played white against the strongest player of my club (with him playing the French), he was always able to destroy my center and I couldn't understand what I did wrong. Now I try to play French with the black pieces (and more elo points) and it seems so difficult to improve with this opening. There are a lot of traps, and just castling too early might cost you the game in some variations. But for me, it's the sign that I need to improve at dealing with these positions and patterns. Thanks for this lesson!
I need to start smashing the like button more for you. Your instructional videos are some of the best and easiest to understand. Great camera angles also. Good job !!
@@Chessfactor The initial variation seems to throw white off as it can develop multiple ways of white is aggressive or passive. I’d like to understand and learn more and I like your videos. My chess coach thinks the French is too passive for my style of play. I want to further my knowledge though.
If you want to learn and practice the chess notation, we recommend that you have a look on the second lesson of the course "Getting Started - Part I" that we offer on our website for free.

How often did you have such positions on the board and what are your experiences?

Hello can you make a video on the French defense Mediterranean variation please?
We try to cover your wish for future video recordings. Why are you specifically asking for the Mediterranean Defense?

Can you please make a video on how to learn the chess board notations, like how many online players speak fast about their positions on videos.

Nice iam from Indonesia
Thanks for your comment and welcome 😉
Sir in 2:05 why not Qg4 instead of 0-0 ?
Thanks for your comment. The answer to your question is mainly to avoid complications after Bb4+, although Qg4 also wins.
if you showed the board on the computer, it would be better,
I can hear russian accent
