Made by Chuky! You sac a knight on f7 and then exploit the weakness on e6 in typical fashion.
What is your plan vs Burn Variation of French?

Nice. Sometimes I wish I was Vasily Ivanvhuk, what a legendinho. His preparotory moves here with the knight are very sweet.

You can completely avoid this problem! Play the Steinitz instead of the Classical.
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5! (I actually find this move stronger than 4.Bg5)

Yes good point Thriller, cheers. I always go 4.Bg5 because I hope to get an Akekhine-Chatard attack (I realise this is not necessarily best but I really enjoy it and score well with it). So I guess I would have to sacrifice the chance of entering that in order to guarentee avoiding the Burn A tough call for me. You play/have played a lot of French right? If I may ask do you play Burn yourself and think it sound? Or avoid it because you see something in it you dislike for black?

Nice miniature LilBoat but 8.e5 is clearly a gross blunder by black. Yes that's it 6.h4 introduces the Alekhine-Chatard.
Not getting mated and enjoy a favourable endgame maybe?

I realize this was a while ago and missed the follow-up Question. The answer is no, I don't play the Burn or the Classical. I play the McCutcheon (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Bb4!)

IM Perunovic recommends some interesting lines against the french.
Indeed, very good video from Perunovic.
There is a second one on 3...Nf6 but McCutcheon is not treated...
And where is the Winawer?
Maybe there is a 3rd video, but I can't find it.

Master, do you still use McCutcheon in the classic variant? What do you recommend against the classic? As I understand it, Leela and Stockfish recommend the Burn variant, but it's too complicated. What do you think?
