  I love the way Eric acts as if he is learning everything for the first time, even though I’m sure he’s studied these openings before. The best teachers are the best students.

  GM Grigoryan is infectious. What a delight. I want to make bishops cry everyday.

  My daughter and I have gotten so much out of this and the French lecture. The positions we’re consistently getting out of this Dutch are just like our favorite nimzo Indian and bogo Indian structures. We’ve even been playing e3 as white we like this so much. I’m north of 1900 after playing chess for one year and I’m 40 years old. Very grateful for the work you do. Thanks for being you. You’re great.

  It would be really nice if Eric would play a speedrun exclusively with these openings. Aman from chessbrah is doing that for several openings and I find it amazingly nice for learning.

  Started this video with the though "I will never play the Dutch anyway", but now 20 minutes into the video I'm sold. Thanks Avetik and Eric

  The analogy of the pieces arguing with each other is so funny and also such good learning tool, i love it

  This repitoire is really good if your at the rating range where people know thier theory and setups but dont know them too well. However when your lower people be playing the weirdest stuff and even though theroy says its a bad move you aint captilizing on it lol

  This is Simon Williams territory, he has good videos and courses on the Rapport Dutch attack as well, which isn't really covered here.

  transposing from queens gambit or jobava into the dutch feels so good. People get caught so offguard in unfamiliar territory and get mated so fast at 1800
