thanks, that cleared things up for me a bit lol, i liked how ya said sinner control lol

@arandomperson240
well here’s my best bet…when he starts with the pesty e6 try the Nf3 variation…you do the research and you’ll have at least even chances with black…^^…or 3.e5 the advance variation, trying to cling to the advanced pawn or do away with central lane attacks….just be very careful though and don’t forget the f4 pawn, it helps sometimes….
If you want a good trick against the Winawer, play Bd2 after black plays C5. usually black plays CxD. Then you play NB5! Usually the bishop exchange follows; if so – you drop your knight into D6+ Black cannot castle now…
3…C5 is the classic attack when one uses 3. E5, named the advanced variation in the French defense. The advanced variation isn’t so great for white as the game progresses. The main focus of the game centers around the d4 pawn and whether white is able to appropriately defend it.
Use of the words French and defense in the same sentence always makes me chuckle. This opening is too effective to be named as such. In my opinion, the French Defense should be the name of some opening that leads to being checkmated quickly.
thanks so much i only know 1 defence and this is irt thanks for explaining in more detail
says the same thing over and over
@SpongeInPyjama c5 … your opponenet played the advance variation.. it should actually give you some nice chances as black…
Why not flip the board when you’re talking about playing black? For me it would be better to remember in play. but thanks anyway, like your vids!
I appreciate the information, but you repeat yourself too much.
@BMac7773 Actually Bd7 should be a good move: If white exchanges the bishop you are rid of your light-squared bishop which is the piece which causes most problems to black in the French defense. If White does not exchange but retreats his Bishop he just loses a tempo.
Which program are you using for this video?

How about “the flaming weasel of DEATH” defence
@SpongeInPyjama,
this is known as the advance variation (3. e5), you need to attack the d4 pawn with a c5 pawnbreak…
You should play 3. — c5, this is a pawn break allowing you to furthermore force black to defend it, if he/she takes, you can respond with Bxc5, causing a kingside attack!
