The following video is a compilation of analysis that I made on the petroff defense. I go over how and when you reach the petroff defence, and then I suggest some valuable theoretical lines which lead to rich and compromising play for both white and black. More for white of course :). With that said, I hope you like this video on the petroff, or russian game as they call it. If you happen to have any questions please feel free to post them below, I would be happy to go over them for you on a video/
