Pawn Structure #2: French Defence | Strategy Session with Jonathan Schrantz

[@AjedrezEnEspanol]

Jon Schrantz's lectures are extremely comfy. I watch all of these channel's videos but his are my favorites.

[@jahnbee7436]

What about yasser!!!

[@danno1800]

An excellent explanation of this pawn structure! Thank you

[@Aizen343]

I was a sicilian player. Since you give the MaCutcheon lesson (probably i spelled wrong) i'm studing and playing lots of French. Thanks for your indisputably best didatic.

[@dipankarmkhrj]

Jonathan you have the courage to laugh at yourself. Your lectures are great

[@ldeans5620]

I enjoyed and learned from this vid. I'd like to see similar discussions of other openings, especially the Scotch and the Benoni

[@upenditv731]

Showing a loss, what a guy!

[@piyushbothra8961]

Please also show some crazy aggressive lines either in a game or Chess openings explained. A chebanko lecture please too

[@bigfuss4135]

24:04 not a little bit. Not at all in fact (I hope you didn't get jumpy). It was a good and useful game. Thanks for sharing it, and for the lecture.

[@danzawhite921]

Hi Jonathan, I watched your videos and liked it!

[@migarasdepan4423]

1.e4 e6 white resigns, Napoleon conquests Europe!

[@Draz0000]

Seeing as one of the main tennants of the Caro Kann is black trying to maintain a superior pawn structure, if you plan to do more of these types of videos, I would love seeing the Caro Kann showcased.

[@benH215]

I love the mannerisms of Ben Finegold that Jonathan has seemingly picked up.

[@eliask5867]

could you please do a chessopeningsexplained from modern defence a6 systems for black?Or the exchange variation of the spanish for white????

[@MarcoDWZ]

I love all ur videos very much! But I also miss the videos made by Alejandro Ramirez. Currently he is playing the Millionaire Chess Open. Good Luck Alejandro! Many Greetings from Germany :)

[@tonysu8860]

Useful and entertaining lecture. But, was guessing different pawn structures when first mentioned... ie typical locked center, semi-open resulting from Rubenstein and Exch French.. Also, I consider the "very long" double pawn chain when black plays at least pawn c4 or which is able to play f6 without exchanging as special formations. But, what is presented here is a reasonably good intro for beginning students.

[@castiel6683]

i cant find who said this (1:40) Jonathan

[@cracgor]

no laughing. you are my favorite instructor. Franco-Indian Defence is my vote

[@duyngo2370]

brilliant game u played

[@zacharymcelgunn9391]

his inflection is so so similar to Ben Fiengolds.... is there a chess dialect??

[@sauryasircar5326]

1:40 I'm not 100% sure but that sounds like Maroczy...? but anyways, Requesting QGA pawn structures

[@simargl2454]

French defense: 1. e4, black resigns

1.e4 - Black resigns, surrenders and moves his forces out of Paris so Nazi army can invade the city.

[@stevenxu5747]

Better than getting his forces captured, I guess... :D

[@actualideas8078]

Arya Sen and France was liberated

[@sioperajj]

Botvinnik Triangle in the English!

[@AlberJonathan]

I'd love it if you could show us the Owens Defense i love this opening but it's very hard to find a book about it. Please help me!

[@MrSupernova111]

Have you done the french exchange monte carlo variation? I don't see a lot of content on that particular variation.

[@bornamohammadinia6419]

can you make a video about typical grunfeld pawn structur

[@dennisp.6265]

It may be not exactly fit into this type of lecture, but I'd love to see a lecture about pawn levers. Especially the levers which were actual a temporary sacrifice in order to mess with your opponents position. I consequently fail at seeking and playing them in the right moment. -,- Keep up the good work, greetings from Germany! :-)

[@MrSupernova111]

Do you mean pawn breaks?

[@preilly101]

I wasn't laughing at you I was laughing with you about your game great as always and I'm curious can you show the Catalan pawn structure or Nimzo - Indian pawn structure

[@dmaster20ify]

The man said "I don't really want to show my own games!"

[@imaginationworld8699]

Thx scrantz My fav opening is french i realy need to learn about french

[@wilblm]

Its true that when black plays french he is aiming for the draw ? Thanks for the great video Jonathan

[@toesdoeswhoknows704]

William Moura No he is not, he is looking for queenside counterplay and to undermine the centre and hopefully create and attack whites weaknesses in the centre. It leads to dynamic non drawish positions

[@adamrubinson6875]

I think objectively, the French Advance is equal, at least according to my Engin when following theory. The Classical and Tarrasch give White chances for an edge.

[@achintya4094]

That thumbnail makes you look very ... interesting

[@Sagar-wn1po]

Interviewer - Introduce yourself. Me- I attack using French defence and defend using King's Gambit.

[@hirajthamindha1883]

Bad guys are not going out for your question and you don't forget to know

[@sexymotherfucker1639]

(Sorry in advance if this is a personal question) Do you make money from this KZbin account?

[@SK-fr9xp]

why do you care?

[@sexymotherfucker1639]

Curiosity

[@piyushbothra8961]

The Dutch pawn structure and a6 Slav pawn structure

[@srvhs5]

in the first game, couldnt jonathan schrantz have pinned the queen to the king?

[@JimLink]

Ben Simon at 5:54 you should have edited out Donald Trump from the computer screen. Terrible..

[@sandeepghosh4232]

i want the kan

[@dagstialdagial]

STONEWALL!

[@JosephTruelson]

Good joke at 2:10

[@missjessgem]

as a French Defense player, I approve of this video.

[@dragomirsorin2027]

London system pawn strucuture

[@johnmcallister9094]

Can definitely tell you’re a student of Ben Finegold.

[@migarasdepan4423]

I believe you should comment games of masters about the french instead comment your own games that have some mistakes, good video

[@salvadorguerrero1352]

If you see an almost perfect game, you will hardly understand whst can go wrong I think.

[@tonysu8860]

Nearly all games at every level can be instructive. Often depends on the annotator, and of course can depend on the types of errors. If the annotator is unable to understand or evaluate the position properly, then you won't learn from the master game. Also, relatively few players play games at master level, sometimes students need to recognize the problems they most often will encounter before learning about concepts at the more advanced level. I commonly describe this as the difference between knowledge and wisdom... Students learn from a curriculum to gain knowledge. When the student understands how and when to break the lessons learned, wisdom is gained.
