Post it, share your analysis:)
The game starts with e4, while oponent defends with the French Defence e6, white's e4 advances to e5, the next move would be d4 and f4. The move f4 gives the game it's name and it's called the "BX-F FILE" what comes next is Nf3, Bd3, Bb2, Na3, Qd2 and 0-0-0.
Feel free to add your analysis for this after trying it.

If you create a new comment on this topic, you see in the upper left corner a chess board. With that you can add the moves to a board and publish it.

It looks more accurate to post it with a diagram. :D

After 1.e4 e6 2.e5 black can just play 2...d6, and white's two tempi to over-extend a pawn looks silly.
But lets say you use a more normal french advance move order with 2.d4 and 3.e5, f4 in these structures is a lemon for white. It shuts down white's dark square bishop and allows black to leave a knight on h6. Sooner or later the knight comes to f5 and black has strong pressure on d4. Kicking the knight with g4 can run into trouble when the knight often can hop to h4.
Leaving a knight on a3 and playing 0-0-0 seems dangerous as well. Black will just trade his bishop for your knight and now there are open lines pointing at your king.
There is only one good move for both sides, for white its the e5 pawn and for black its the d6 pawn which is why the move is kike this 1. e4 e6 2. c3, now what will black play after this?
