french defence (advance)

e4 e6 d4 d5 e5 c5 c3 nf6. what is ahead???? answer in 2 days.??

What are you asking? Moves for white?

5.Nf3!  All day, any day!

Black has to try something extravagant, like 5...Nh6, as White gets the better game in both the main lines:

5...Qb6 6.a3!

5...Bd7 6.Be2!

you are right thriller man but not whole question solved!!

we can play nf3 right i want VOTES!!!

I prefer 4 Qb6 to Nc6. If this is inferior then I await ThrillerFan advice on why it is.

you both are right ! keep going!!!

why?

The advance french is very easy to play as black, but it is very difficult against a real expert in the opening.

Why White would have a "better game" after 5...Bd7 6.Be2?

Black can simply continue putting pressure on d4 without big surprise on both sides. I am not a top player, but most of the time if White chooses the advance variation, I get an effortless game as Black.

Most of the time, the central pawn chain is a good shield for my king who stays in the center till the White light-squared Bishop or a Knight gets exchanged. In some variations I can also long-castle and it's not even theorically dubious.

I know it's tauting but: it's a piece of cake. Not the most challenging White choice.

In any case, I suspect samyak of trolling but the aforementionned variations may be of some use for others...

wow merowig what an answer!!!

Because ThrillerFan says so. There is no other reason, serious or not.

Isn't this reason good enough for you?

Well, hum, I guess it's not.

"This is a bit short, young man" would say Cyrano de Bergerac.

oh no mero it is nor short nor big because it is very big!!

all of you except aussie rookie and merowig are time loss.

i said in the first message that - answer in 2 days .

and which variation is this??????????????????
