re:French Tarrash Unclear line - 2006/10/09 17:44
Antonio is correct in his assessment. This is covered in books on the French as well. For example, Minev's French Defense 2 gives 10.Nf3! fxe5 11.dxe5 Ndxe5 12.Nxe5 Nxe5 13.Qh5+ Nf7 14.0-0 g6 15.Qe2 Bg7 16.Bb5+ Kf8 17.Be3 with a strong initiative for the pawn.
Psakhis also covers this in his new book on the Tarrasch. He suggests, in the above line, that black may do better with 11...Nc5 12.Bc2 g6 13.h4 Ne4! Van Wessel-Werle, Amsterdam open 2002. In the line quoted above, he stops after 15.Qe2 and says black is at a loss for a good continuation, based on Vysochin-Borovikov, Pavlograd 2000.
He also says that 10.exf6 is worth considering and gives 10...Nxf6 11.Nf3 Qc7 12.0-0 Bd6 13.g3 0-0 14.Re1 e5 15.dxe5 Nxe5 16.Nxe5 Bxe5 17.Qb3 with the initiative in Gufeld-Sevillano, Los Angeles open 1995. I guess this is the line for people who do not like to sacrifice pawns.. ---------
Don't marry a man to reform him - that's what reform schools are for.
