French Defence
Main lines of the Winawer and French Steinitz
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| French 1 | 1. e4 e6 |
| French 2 | 2. d4 d5 |
| French General Concepts | Black is trading space for security (e6 blocks bishop attacks on f7). He will likely attack white's central pawns with d5 and c5. |
| French Middle Games | Tend to favor position play and long term planning, but often have nasty tactical situations. |
| French Winawer 3 | 3. Nc3 Bb4 |
| French Winawer Advance 4 | 4. e5 c5 |
| French Winawer Advance 5 | 5. a3 Bxc3 |
| French Winawer Advance 6 | 6. bxc3 Ne7 |
| French Winawer Advance 7 | 7. Qg4 |
| French Winawer Concepts White | The doubled pawns can be weak, but strenghten the center and open the b-file. He has king side space and can dominate the dark squares with his bishop pair. |
| French Winawer Concepts Black | Can try to sac pawns to control the center (7. … Qc7 8. Qxg7 Rg8 9. Qxh7 cxd4), or castle into white's attack. |
| French Steinitz 3 | 3. Nc3 Nf6 |
| French Steinitz 4 | 4. e5 Nfd7 |
| French Steinitz 5 | 5. f4 c5 |
| French Steinitz 6 | 6. Nf3 Nc6 |
| French Steinitz 7 | 7. Be3 |
| French Steinitz Black Concepts | He can step up pressure on d4 with Qb6 (before or after cxd4), develop king side with cxd4 and Bc5, or develop queen side with a6 and b5. |
