Avetik is so great to listen to, his way of talking and explaining is so clear, perfect mix of comedy and clarity.

Eric, could you do a playlist of all the course with GM Avetik so there is a place to look for, or it is already done .. It would be just easier to find all those fun course

Love it, thank you so much. One note: At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spGOTVi09Tw&t=1026">17:06</a>, computer prefers fxg6, after fxe6 it is apparently slightly better for black. Only move Ndxe5 with a crazy continuation, essentially black solves their space disadvantage with that sacrifice.

Long time occasional peruser of your content, decided to subscribe strictly based off of the last two videos you’ve done with GM Grigoryan. I already played the Scotch Potter, French Defense Schlechter, and will swap from two knights defense anti Caro to aggressive exchange after this video. I’m intentionally trying to build a scalable opening repertoire that is both uncommon but sound against all the modern day staples and this series is literal perfection for my chess journey. Please keep up this series with more videos (personal request for cowboy attack or whatever uncommon but sound anti Sicilian weapon with white GM Grigoryan recommends) and build on it with slow runs/speed runs/deeper dives/etc

Man i was reluctant to click on this one because it might be slower paced and you’re not really playing a game but holy. 12 minutes in I feel like I have a huge grip on the French with white.
