Learn French Defense!

Hello Today I'll give you guys a Free French Defense Course.

This is the Main French Defense.

French Defense: Alien Gambit

French Defense Mini Game:

Idea: e6 Supports d5 and Bishop on f8 supports c5. It is a Really Trickly Opening Best Rating to Play at: 300-1750

French Defense Advanced Variation

French Defense Advance Variation: What if they Take on C5?

Garbage! Against the Exchange, if 4.Nc3, Black should play 4...Bb4, not 4...Nf6. 4...Nf6 works against 4.Nf3, not 4.Nc3.

Also, if 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 4.dxc5?!, Black should play 4...Nc6!, not 4...Bxc5

What are you rated, like, 1200 or something? Your knowledge of the French is clearly lacking, and before you try to return the question, I have played the French Defense probably over a thousand times over the board. Somewhere around 50 or so times, give or take, as White and the rest as Black.

And?

If he is 1200, he should be taking advice, not giving it. It would be like having Kaitlyn Clark (WNBA Star) repairing your engine problems.

If you aren't good, stay in your own lane and learn rather than try to teach. If he is over 2000 OTB, like me, the French is clearly not his specialty. I have played the French as my primary weapon for 29 years. You start talking French or Petroff, you are in MY wheelhouse. I won't let false information in those 2 openings go un-noticed! Same goes for the Dutch, Sokolsky, and Trompowsky.

Despite his aggressiveness, I do trust Thrillerfan's lines.

After all, I am not the one that has been playing the french for 29 years. In fact, I do not really play the French at all.

None of that really matters, though, because I am not even 29 years old...

I am old enough to be your father. I turned 50 last week.

But I know have to play the French defense

funny thing, my father is only slightly older than you

Thanks for sharing @StonesReborn! If you can, please add comments to each move you recommend for Black so we can better understand the moves we play.
