Grandmaster Ben Finegold teaches the kids (and you) to play the French Defence. Beginner opponents won't know what to do, since they are dogmatically used to 1. e4 e5. 2016.10.02 C00 French defence

He's right though...like STFU and be grateful they are sharing their knowledge to the masses. Why are there so many grandmasters these days? Because they mentor these kids now and all the information is available to the masses. Back in the day, you didn't get to learn from a GM until you were close to a GM in the first place and gained some manner of respect...if you were lucky.

That's an amazingly eclectic variety of musicians, and my respect continues to grow. Edit: Posted too early, video wasn't over. Also on the list: Common

The main reason I started using and continued to use the French defense is because of my low rating Players my rating love to always try the form of checkmate 80% of the time. The blockade of the f7-e6 Pawn chain prevents the light square bishop Bishop which is usually placed on the Queen Side from helping the Queen in the quick checkmate tactics The second reason I like playing it is it further amplifies the first reason is it kills the Fried Liver attacks which are such a drag to defend.
