Although it probably doesn't perform as well as the speedrun, I love this kind of content. Straightforward practical chess theory in a relatively mainstream opening that can teach a lot to players under 2000. Great video

Please do more of these opening lessons, these are actually more hepful than speedrun. You have done fair share of speedrun already.

I loved when he taught you the French last year, but this time it's even better because I actually play the scotch a little bit, whereas I wasn't super interested in playing the French. Great video

It would be fun if Eric (Avetik) developed his own complete opening repertoire soon and then did a speedrun using exactly that repertoire (French Attack and Scotch + whatever else is coming up in the next videos)
