Just checked my stats. I’m a patzer but up 200 since I found these videos of yours. Your instruction is so clear I find I don’t need to memorise specific moves, but play more accurately overall because I understand the ideas behind the openings I play. Thank you

Fantastic video, and I like the Bf4 line. One issue I find with Bf4 though is that it can't be transposed into from the Modern (1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6) without giving up objective evaluation (4. Bf4 isn't in the top 10 in s16, and transpositions from moves like f3 don't work). I prefer to be able to transpose into the same setup against both the Pirc and Modern as it means less theory for me to learn and memorize.
