@tfewald01 Subtle moves like 5...Bd7 often gain their strength from nuances that are difficult to comprehend until you've already gained experience in the more natural lines. You can generally gain a more crisp understanding by maintaining a -slight- preference form more direct and natural continuations...but only a slight preference, chess still requires objectivity!

@EditingStudio Thank you!

Thanks for your videos - seem to be about the best here on youtube. ;-) I play the French, and am confused about 5...Qb6. I've got a few years' worth of TWIC in Fritz, and 5...Qb6 is more popular than 5...Bd7, but 5...Bd7 has better results! Those two are the overwhelming favorites over everything else, but I don't understand why the less productive one is more popular. Any ideas? Thanks, again.

But the nature of your questions is even more interesting. It's precisely moves like 5...Bd7 that I try to -avoid- putting in my own repertoire or suggesting to others. When a move seems more natural to you and turns out to enjoy a good reputation, I would suggest playing it over slightly more fashionable continuations.

@tfewald01 In this case, both moves have been demonstrated to be completely viable ways for Black to develop his game so he has a choice here.

@tfewald01 This is a great question! I was aware of 5...Bd7 when I made this video but wanted to focus on the direction continuation for instructional purposes. 5...Bd7 is indeed a little bit more popular than 5...Qb6 including in master practice. From a purely positional point of view, 5...Bd7 introduces the possibility of a quick ...Rc8, the bishop also improves it's situations and can often play for an eventual ...Bb5 trying to trade off the sickly bishop.
