    This idea has been introduced in detail in Simon William's 2011-book "The French". The only new move is 15. ... Rc1, which I really liked. The whole variation is meant to avoid the Millner-Barry, which isn't especially good for white theoretically - but in practice I've always been afraid of it appearing on my board. (-:

    I must say, Mr. Johnathan Vampire Chicken Zolpi Schrantz, this is almost enough to make me start playing the French.
    I've never played the French. Not even one game. I did some study on it, and while I would never say that it's not a great opening, I've never felt like it would work cohesively with my particular playing style.
    You may have just changed my mind.
    You're also quickly moving to the top of my list of favorite chess streamers, alongside such names as Rosen and Finegold. Keep up the good work and great content, sir. 👏

      @@jacobhunwick1588 I don't disagree that being up a pawn on move 6 is never bad, but I prefer the mainline French with the added Rf8, like Schrantz shows.
      Just personal preference.

    Great video. Especially like the variation deals with both a3 advanced variation and the Bd3 gambit and the best counter (ne2) can be answered by f3 prying open f-file that white’s king is pinned down on, so attack will keep going a pace.

    Hi Jonathan. After cxd4, White can play oo and a kind of Millner-Barry gambit (with Rc8 instead of Qb6). The main idea being White focus on strengthening e5 pawn and usual balance pawn vs quick development.

    I love this line (with 9...g5! 10.h3 Nxd4!) - first seen in the game Sveshnikov-Chernin (Riga, 1985).
    Back in the 90s, I tried (~10 times) to get it as Black in the Advance French, but unfortunately my opponents always deviated beforehand! Often, White avoids 6.Bd3 because it invites 6...cxd4 7.cxd4 Qb6, transposing back into the Milner-Barry Gambit which isn't everyone's cup of tea.
    When I did face 6.Bd3, three games went 6...Rc8 7.O-O cxd4 8.cxd4 Nb4 9.Nc3 Nxd3 10.Qxd3 Ne7. To me this looks OK for White as he has a useful lead in development to compensate for Black's bishop pair. None of my opponents tried the inferior 11.Bg5 here (see 2:30 ).
    Another two games went 6...Rc8 7.a3 cxd4 8.cxd4 Qb6 9.O-O Nxd4, resulting in a kind of Milner-Barry with a3 and ...Rc8 thrown in. It's not clear what difference that makes.
    With my opponents failing to cooperate 8-), I gave up trying for the tabiya of ...g5 & Nxd4, and decided to try other lines as Black :'(

    After white plays 12. Nf3 ...Bxf2+ and 13. Ke2 instead of 13. Kf1 it's actually only -0.6 advantage for black. Not a very human move to do, doing the Bongcloud King move, but might actually hold with perfect play. That was kind of surprising when I ran through your lines in the video. Great video as always. Sorry I'm 2 years late!

    @mrsommer84 Год назад

    18:04 "What is the best move?" I watch this on youtube without any engine and I though Ba4 is best move, bc the bishop has been a target and now becomes active, Bd7-b5+ is not possible, white Queen comes to a4 (either by Ba4:d7+ or Bd7:a4), and the white King has a hideout on d1, not easy to check him after B:f2+, and he protects c1. But I did this without any engine, just by watching your video. So there might be some other tricks for Black to win the game. Have fun Jonathan, thinking about Bc2-a4 after Bf8-c5!

  • @scselenyi

    • @johnobrienii1156
      @johnobrienii1156 3 года назад +1

      He says Nb4 sets up a (Rook supported) Knight jump to c2 with an attack on the Rook on a1 if White mistakenly plays Be2 because they are worried about NxB on d3... leaving the defense of c2. If White plays Nc3 to stop this, then he says go ahead with NxB on d3 and after QxN on d3 play Ne7. White often tries to pin the Knight to the Queen with Bg5, but after h6 White usually blunders the dark squared Bishop with Bh4. You attack it again with g5. It drops further back and the Knight on e7 that lured it out now threatens it with the move Nf5. The Bishop is trapped. Regardless, he says, if White blocked your threat to take the Rook with Nc3, then exchange your Knight on b4 for the Bishop on d3, and although White has defended properly the position is fine for Black. So...there's a little poison in the position your opponent may or may not swallow. If they allow it... you should see if they'll drink. 😉 He goes on to say his opponent in the game prevented all of this...but he still shared it because it's there and he's won positions with it. 👍
