I needed this. I try to learn the French with Giris Course on chessable, but it was more studying moves than understanding what to do in the middlegame. Now that I have gained a solid idea of the main attacks, I can restart learning in a new light.
Thanks
Opening theories boring and scary.
But once you start playing them it starts making more sense
Excellent video. Thanks!
i RARELY comment on videos but your channel is so helpful and the teachers are so calm and explain everything so slowly and i just love it.
If this is a lesson "for Black," it would have been nice to view the board from Black's point of view.

A digital board representation would be good. Hard to process things with the angle you are shooting the board from at least for me and I can't be the only one. Just a suggestion
