I'm in love with the Haldane variation at the moment. It is just so tricky! Thank you, Mio.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Won 75% of my games with it! I am the highest rated player in the history of this line to play it in the tournament game 😃

[@tonykora1715]

I’ve always hated playing the French. But now I look forward to the next time ... thanks Mio!!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

[@BirenKumar]

Waiting for this😍 Now i think i can win against French defense....

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Good luck 👍

Hi Mr. Perunovic, great video as usual! I know you already made a video about the Four Knights English, but I was wondering if you could show a (preferably agressive) approach for black against the line where white plays an early e3 and d4 without a kingside fianchetto(1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3) in more detail.

[@lorenzozanetti9058]

I really like this sideline! against the French I use the advance variations and play the Milner Barry gambit with 9.Nbd2

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Its nice one, could do it one day 😉

[@Traumtheater0]

at around 17.40 the 'best move' for black is: 1.Nc3 d5 2.e4 e6 3.d4 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Qh5 c5 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.Ng5 g6 8.Qf3 f6 9.Nxe6 Ndxe5 !? (not mentioned) now what? 10. Qxd5 Qxd5 11. Nxd5 Bxe6 and now Nxf6+ or Nc7+ ? still complicated but not lost . Great vid! I might try it once I know what to do after other lines 3..Bb4 and particularly boring 3.. dxe4 from black !

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Will do that soon 3...de4 and 3...Bb4 😉

[@oloyt6844]

That’s the best move for black i think

[@dandonna852]

Saw a variation were knight was on G5 H6 queen H5 Bishop was on d3 bishop takes g6

[@agentsmith9641]

Please do a chessable on this how to butcher the french from white,no ones done it.

[@slobodanmoravcevic7470]

Срећна Србска Нова Година 👌👌👌

[@kerniweller2298]

What do we play after 5...g6 6.Qg4 c5 7.Nf3 Nc6?

[@derSchachstratege]

I guess something like dxc5 , Bd3 , 00, Re1 etc. Protecting e5 and going for the dark squares. Never avoid endings With Nd4 against Bd7 😁
