Seeing as this is an introductory video, I can accept that the finer points of the TMB variation, such as locking in the Queen's bishop with 8. Be2 Bb7 9. Bxf6 Bxf6 10. cxd5 exd5 are not covered.
However, I would stress the importance of playing not playing 4. Nf3 so quickly. In some exchange variations, it is advantageous for White to develop the King's knight to e2 in order to build a strong center with f3 and e4. 4. Bg5 is, therefore, the more flexible move.
This is my favorite opening for both sides.
