French Defense: Paulsen Variation (I need some help)

5. Qg4 is the Russian variation of the winawer. Play usually continues 5...Ne7 6.dxc5 Nbc6 7.Bd2 O-O or 7.Qxg7 Rg8 8.Qh6 Bxc3+ 

That doesn't answer the question.

Which was?

8.Nf3 seems fine. Black can't castle kingside because of h4 and if he tries to go to the queenside then Qf4 puts too much pressure on f6.

There is no tactical reason Black can't play this.

The fact that it is bad does not change the fact that you can't punish it outright. As I said there is no tactical refutation and you must simply try and take advantage of the weaknesses.

And the horizon effect is going to confuse Rybka every time in these closed positions. You need to be able to guide it to the right plan so that it can find the best moves. Otherwise it will simply putter around until it finds a tactical reason for why it's already flawed moves fail.

It's a joke line.  Black plays 5...Ne7 and he is fine.  Here, the pawn is pretty clearly poison.

You don't even know why as you have already mentioned multiple times. So it seems to me that whatever information you do have, no matter how advanced it may be, is completely useless as you can't even utilize it in your own games.

This is the point that you omit in every one of your posts. It is this rampant dogmatism that is the most annoying thing about opening discussion. If you can't prove it yourself then does it matter? Because theory and practice are two completely different things.

So you can either continue to nag about things that you obviously do not understand or you can actually listen to people that for some reason still care to help you.

If you can't prove it's bad then it doesn't matter.

Of couse you have every right to be an armchair GM.

Have a nice day.

That has nothing to do with what I typed. You're trolling and I'm done.

5.Qg4 is good only for blitz/rapid , and 5...g6 a stupid answer.

Of course the right move is 5...Ne7, when Black is fine after both 6.dc5 and 6.Qxg7.

In that case, there must be your reading issues.

Moskalenko does not mention 5...g6 at all, of course, but instead gives 5...Ne7, and resumes that this variation can only frighten "weak players, or kids". I believe you belong to both categories, so it scares you to death.

Regards.
