Excellent lesson, thanks.

I love Saint Louis Chess Club and its videos. As in the case of GM Boros' lesson, openings and defenses are explained slowly, deeply and with the necessary respect for Chess (I personally don't like streamers who clown around while talking about chess)

Funny comment, but true!

Nice things to think about. I play the French and see too many people take the, "i don't want to think or know this" exchange variation, which leads to some balanced but dull games. Lazy! There are so many interesting things in the mainlines

How come there are no lessons with Magnus Carlsen? Come on guys, invite Magnus to be GM in residence.
