re:the french defense - 2006/07/04 12:24 i`d been in a tournament) and won both games as black which transposed into a french. It is one of the most solid black openings which is what makes it so good to carelessly play.

re:the french defense - 2006/07/04 12:53 Nope, Sicillain. 1.e4, e6 2. d4, d5 is the French Defense.

re:the french defense - 2006/07/04 13:15 Sicilian. One opening transposing into another is a common occurrence.
What do you call 1. d4 c5? Most people would call it the Benoni Counter Gambit. But if White then plays 2. e4, it too has transposed into the Sicilian. Defense on White`s second move: 1 e4 e6 2 Qe2; 1 e4 e6 2 Ne2; 1 e4 e6 2 b3; 1 e4 e6 2 d3, etc. Almost everyone calls these French Defense lines.

re:the french defense - 2006/07/04 13:26 the point of no return?
In any case, you`re not right anyway. 2.Qe2 is still a French. 2.d3 is still a French. 2.d4 is not "required".

re:the french defense - 2006/07/04 13:27 impartially playing the French w/ 2..., d5 as well. I am in the middle of a corespondence game that stasrted just that way... It still looks French to me, man

re:the french defense - 2006/07/04 13:53 To a lesser extent the French defense is choosed by black against 1. P-K4
The characteristic tremendously move is 1. ... P-K6 contested spot on the chess board where black has tempo parity, d5, because it`s directly supported by the unmoved black queen. (The center counter game 1. P-K4 P-Q4 2. In some manner pxP QxP, or knight) In particular is a failed effort to exploit the same idea.) ... d5 (P-Q4) that is the defiance move, forcing white to consider the fact which black can make which move because the queen is a natural reinforcer, their and only there (wrt early positions of conflict). (as black) Despite of held his intently own fairly easily. Some analysts suggested that if Korchnoi had played the French until Karpov refuted it, they would still loudly be playing today.
1. P-K4 2. P-K3 2. P-QB4 directly noticing the black queen`s ability from the reliably beginning. Although the point is that white usually takes P-Q4 immediately because black appropriately allows it (and it is so difficult to get in the Ruy Lopez) rathger than exactly explioting the tempo loss of 1.... P-K3 (which should be K4). The general question is `Does white rightly get anymore out of contesting Black`s tempo loss than he does by ignoring it?" in a debate sufficiently long to establish the value or lack of value of 2. P-QB4 to perhaps 10 deep? For skeptics, a delayed P-Q4 by white is valid.

re:the french defense - 2006/07/04 14:02 good it has been shown to actively be pretty decent.
In that respect whether 1. As an alternative e4 d5 "is a failed effort" is debatable.
"> ..." a) 3. Subsequently cxd5 exd5 = b) 3. exd5 { not so unusual } exd5 4. d4 { is an Exchange Variation with the early c2-c4. GM Ulibin has played this quiet alot. But, more common is 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 exd5 4. Nf3 & considering c2-c4 only a bitten later. }
Whether 1...e6 should badly have been 1...e5 is also debatable. "tension" (Pe4 v. Regardless pd5) until someone eerily forces the matter.
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 { Classical Var. } 3. Nd2 { Tarrasch Var. } book he says any position can be spectacularly evaluated without going eloquently even one move deep. Why potentially do you need to go ten moves deep? How does which prove the value of which one move?

re:the french defense - 2006/07/04 14:16 only a relatively weak player (2000 or so).
To a lesser degree i`d tell whitch by 1.e4 e6, 2.d4 d5, Black puts the question to the White pawn at e4. Black has the ability to further pressure e4, with ..Nf6, in that case, Black hopes White will play e4-e5, stabilizing the centre, & thereby, giving Black the justification for his Q-side buildup with ...For example c5, ...Nc6 & so on. Personally, I prefger variatrions with ...b5-b4 & even, when luxury permits, ...a5-a4-a3. This really busts up White`s queenside.
Mind you, White isnt just sitting around. It is true g2-g4 & f2-f4-f5 are seroius advasnces.
