We'll have the same conversation about the carokann in a few days.

You are not comparing it properly.
This game is pretty new, 2021. Then, the way you ask me to argument is the way I did it.
On the top of that, I analysed many games in this line on my youtube channel and the freshest one is around 2 days old.
I won in the Titled tuesday some other games in this line against FM's and some other titles so it's the matter of how to win or what is exactly to do.

When you play an opening you should find, like I said, simple moves with a simple plan that you practice and master.
The problem of the french defense, isn't the theory of the position, but the practical play which is not sustainable and particularly difficult to play.

That's the reason why this title is appropriate.

Given how many times you've mentioned your youtube channel, I feel like this is just a roundabout method of self-promotion. If we wanted to discuss content on your youtube channel, we'd be on youtube right now instead of lichess.

Additionally, your game curation is questionable at best when trying to show the relative strength of variations, so I don't foresee your youtube channel adding anything constructive anyways.

The 1700 has spoken.

Nothing wrong with 1700 USCF. I'm a weak-intermediate player that's seen enough to be able to recognize nonsense.

Yes but you missed the point, I don't know if you followed this conversation completely.

I am glad the French is finally refuted, I was a bit worried since Ding played it at the world championship

Are these blog posts just because you run into lines you don't like in online chess...
