  • @germchang
    @germchang 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Eric you should probably cover the french exchange lines and the setup when white throws in random checks with bishop b5 and queen e2. If Phil somehow reads this, it's a fairly simple and intuitive set up as well which is super solid, pawn c3 against bishop b5, and bishop e7 against queen e2 and then you just develop fairly normally and then castle (hoping to eventually break open on the queen side, similar to the advanced variation)

    Phil is right. At the 1200 level, just go as long as you can without hanging a piece and you'll probably win. Your moves don't have to be particularly good just as long as they don't lose obviously and immediately

      Good luck getting to 1500 if you don't know any openings!
