1 . e4 e6
Strictly speaking, this is not the strongest
of moves ; after all White can immediately
capture the centre by means of the move
2. d4. Furthermore, Black will find it difficult
to develop his lig ht-squared bishop. On the
other hand, Black presents no weaknesses ;
if Black plays 1 . . . e5 instead , the e -pawn
immediately becomes a target. It is possible
that the best move is 1 . . . c5! hindering
2. d4.
1.e4 - c5?! (0.68) INACCURACY - Perhaps better was 1... e6
Well.. time to study the French defense..
