This made me follow, great theory. 👌

Thanks!

Thank you very much. One question: Can we play 2 ... e6 and then 3 ... c6, so that if White exchanges 3. cxd5 exd5 we avoid the drawish character of the usual Slav exchange variation ?

[@Pegasus-Chess]

That's a really good suggestion! I’d say it’s even better than what I showed in the video. If you play e6 first, you can create an asymmetric position after they take on d5. Also, playing e6 doesn’t change any of the lines I showed in the video.

you forgot the geller gambit

[@Pegasus-Chess]

Since I play e6 before Nf6 and don't take on c4 early in the opening the Geller Gambit is avoided.

Are you okay?What happened during the 2nd minute?

I actually lost part of my tooth while recording the video 🤯. I must have forgotten to edit that out haha!
