So it seems like after this exchange, white is up material (2 white pawns for one black minor piece)
This discussion was as good as your video! Excellent that is.
how the queen would be putting the king in check if white knight plays d2 is a mystery to me.
hahaha, you’re so right!
agree with the doctor2
if white moves 3. knight to c3 y not bb4. double up pawns and get pawn
you’re totally correct, sorry I missed this. Kinda funny now that I watch it after reading your comment.
@thechesswebsite Thanks. Its kind of a bold move to pull the queen out so early in the game. I am studying the french defense so I want to understand this move 5 Qb6 thing when the board has developed the way it has in this video (often the case)
@thatguyzyx because in the video, white has taken a knight he was baited into taking. After the exchange black is down material. If white doesn’t a reason to move his bishop, he probably won’t and black can’t bring his queen up to B2 in the first place.
do you have a video that explains how to go on offensive against the french defense?
but if you check with queen and knight already move and the you rockk he will that queen with queen
I just got into chess, I’ve known the rules for a long time, but never knew all the strategy. Your videos are helping me see the chess board and pieces in a new way. I really appreciate your help.
my only gripe is that the intro music is much louder than your voice, so i have to turn down my volume at the beginning, and then turn it up again to hear you.
This guy is such a noob. I am a National Master rated 2240 who plays the French. This guy doesnt understand this opening.
after 3.Nc3 I thought 3….Bb4 is preferable instead of 3…Nf6 pinning down the c3 knight.
what’s the intro song called?
Hmmm… Kevin has twice called the queen “him”… Hmm…
I would play Bishop to B5 after Queen B6… seems to be the best opption to undermine blacks center
Can you enlighten me on why black would place Nh6. That would put black a piece down if as you suggested Qxb2. White should just need to place his Bd2. Once QxRa1. White will play Qc2 trapping black’s Queen. If you see a scenario where Black rescues his black Queen after eating the rook, please tell me how. Perhaps the best way is to try to do c5xd4 to open up your Bf8 to help. But I would simply castle. From here I don’t see how black Queen can escape.
Could you please make a video on how to play if:
3…exd5
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I play this line a lot and white gets a great game if black’s queen takes the pawn on b2. Here’s what I mean:
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. Nf3 Qb6 5. c3 Nc6 6. Be2 Nh6 7. Bxh6 Qxb2? 8. Qd2 Qxa1 9. 0-0 and white is far better.
@Shardslider Yes, black will most likely lose his queen, but he will get either 2 rooks? and 2 pawns for it, OR a queen trade with 1 rook and 2 pawns for 2 knights. Black has a (slightly) better position after the trades in both cases. Try some variations…
very nice and helpfull video thanks,,you are a blessing for the begginers like me,, butt i would like to some your analysis for the exchange variation
A very helpfull opening for black. Thank you. Please continue with your great work.
nice defense
hey, bro what if white plays e5 instead of d4 in his second move and your playing impasse you cant really push up to d4. the reason I ask this is because everybody I ‘ve played it on does e5 instead of d4. What is the best possible move for black then c5?
