Criticized very aggressively with not a better meaning then to be hostile.

THIS GUY MADE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN

THE LINE WHICH WAS REFUTED IS ALREADY BAD

  1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. f4 c5 6. Nf3 Nc6 7. Be3 Qb6 8. Na4 Qa5+ 9. c3 cxd4 10. b4 was the position.
    why would i play 7...Qb6? I used to play Qb6 because i had seen that
    after 7 ...a6 it's +0.2
    after 7 ...Be7 it's 0.3 - 0.4
    like play whatever between these

"This is why I cannot call the French Defense completely "unplayable."
Take this slap as a reply:

"I wanted to prove that Black cannot consistently achieve equality with this defense."
You will never prove. Because you don't study any chess!
What's wrong with people today? How did an opening become bad and good? Why do people think French is bad? Answer: These influencers who say what they think, and people follow them. That's exactly how trends get popular.

I am a very experienced French defense player.
I've been playing it since 3 years.
I have beaten International masters with it IN OTB
You have the refutation! GM Bluebaum Matthias should quit chess now!! he made his career with it!
But you are a CM
Then who are you?

IMPROVE THE TITLE OR DELETE THE BLOG.
IMPROVE THE BLOG AND END YOUR CLICKBAIT.

You started and provocated me.

Now, don't expect me to forget :)

That's it's incredibly unpracticable.

I offered an option to start with Nge7 before Qb6 but I guess no one watched my youtube analysis, the engine games in the study that I imported nor the 2700 GM Level Analysis from players like Etienne Bacrot XD

If it's incredibly impractical that doesn't mean it's unplayable - you added computer games where white wins, what about the millions which were draws and the ones where black won?

French is still perfectly playable - you can't refute an opening that's been played for decades, that's just how it works.

And before you say 'oh you havent watched the video or read the blog' I have.

The study is full of draws even though white had +2 advantages, so no - the study isn't full of won games for white.

Why are you looking at the results of the games even though the subject is only the position that we can get out of the opening?
There are 2 games won by black in the study, even though white was clearly better out of the opening - but still blundered.

The results of the games prove the practicality of the opening. The way the blog is written it seems black lost many games in the french but the french has many other results with interesting positions. After a game the scoresheet is signed 0-1 not Well white was winning but blundered.

Yes, but we are not playing a tournament, but discussing the theoretical validity of the french defense.
