French Defense How Well Did I Do ?

5...Nf6 6. Nc3 a6 is theoretically best - your playing the white side of a tarrasch type system:


7...Qb4 doesn't make much sense, and I don't like the development of the knight to h6, but rather to f6.

10...Qa6 might be a blunder, cxd5 wins a piece (and is also threatened for the next few turns.

13...Nfxd4 hangs a piece.

Your opponent allows you to win your piece back with 16...e4

18. Bc3 loses a piece to dxc2 followed by exf3 - same on move 19.

Bg4 is wrong see line above

b5 seeks unecessary complications - just taking e2 is probably fine.

21... Qb6? Why not Bxc5.

22... Qc7? - Bxd7

28...Qxg3+ leads to mate in one. a5?? Hangs the bishop.

I don't believe in your sacrifice after Kxf3 Rd3+ Re3.

the french is in response to 1. e4.

your responded e6 to d4, not the french, although it may look and play in a similar fasion

Teacher: Billy, it's your turn.  Spell "bricks."

Billy: B-R-I-X.

Teacher: I'm sorry, that does not spell "bricks."

Billy: Oh yeah? Well, if you're so smart, what DOES it spell?

8... Nh6 loses the queen to 9. Nb5 and with bad play black can go an extra exchange down with moves like Nc7+
