And I dislike French defense by now.
I lost so many games when I played it.
There is problem with one your Bishop when you play it.
yes you do box in your bishop but if you know that going in you prepare how to get around it
Of course, you are right.
But I don't know that. I don't know how to liberate my Bishop from this "box" on the right side of the board.
So French defense is tricky enough.
yes but it is your least important bishop and yes you have to move the pawns to create a path

I love when my opponent plays Scandinavian. It makes it that much more fun to develop pieces and at the same time chase the queen

I don't like the Caro. It's overrated and it's slow. Better is to play the French Defense. I have the more common variations covered here and you will get more out of this study than by playing the Caro. I also included a tricky variation that will have you win a lot of games
Very incomplete!
For instance, in the 6.Be2 line after 6...f6 7.O-O, etc, on move 10 (shown as move 5 there because when you click 6.Be2, it goes back to 1 rather than 6), White has 2 main options. 10.c4, as shown, but also 10.f4, which is the more positional route.
I smacked Black silly in the Chicago Open back in the mid-2010's with 10.f4 (yes, I was White that game - I do not only play the Black side of the French, I also play the White side of the Advance, 3.Nc3, and King's Indian Attack).
Interesting suggestion. I will add that right now to my study. My book only covers so much and I have to add some things sometimes like the 6.Bd3 which is the most common continuation today is not mentioned in the book. I found Jonathon Schrantz's video on it and used that. I'm open to more suggestions if anyone has some
I'll end the entire argument here;
Play the French.
dont hate me lol
