Mr. Legoland has demonstrated a historically significant line in chess history.
The particular line he shows of the French Defense is called the Maginot Line, typically played against White's von Bismarck/Blietzkrieg/Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei line (vBBNSDA line) and always losing 100% of the time, without exception.
White always wins this line by accepting Black's unsound French central sacrifices, casually side-stepping the French Defense, and invading & taking over all of Black's territory...these games are decisive miniature victories for White 100% of the time if Black plays the futile French against White's vBBNSDA.
The vBBNSDA line gives White a very powerful initiative out of the opening against any Black Defense, even a non-French defense. But some of these non-French Defenses effectively wrest the momentum from White's vBBNSDA, beginning in the middlegame.
Black can use the English Defense's Royal Airforce line to neutralize the vBBNSDA attack in the late opening/early middlegame. Up to nearly 70 years ago, it was thought that the resulting positions were unclear, but likely still favoring White.
However a powerful new line for Black in the middlegame was discovered around that time: the dual-flank-counterattacking Allied Defense. This consisted of: a) a kingside counterattack sacrificing multiple unstoppable advancing pawns (the D-Day line); and b) a simultaneous queenside attack called the Petroff Winter, a powerful defensive set-up, sacrificing material and territory initially in order to overextend the enemy's army. With this powerful line, both sides of Black's counter-attacking flanks will mercilessly converge on White's king in the endgame for a decisive victory.
None of these lines have been seriously played in over 65 years, but they have profoundly influenced the course of chess history. It's too bad that kids today don't learn or don't remember their chess history.
I remembered this post and decided to create an Variation of the French dedicated to this
Please if you know the Reffrences please name them so that they may be taught to those who don't know the History.
Simple way to defeat the french. Contrary to Mr. Legoland's exceptionally idiotic motion, I have suggested, if you really dislike the french, or don't know how to play against it; simply resign if it gets too horrid on your side. Much more reasonable than what he (Legoland) has suggested. Also, this forum is so old.
I don't understand how people get so upset if they dislike an opening, your opponent is not going to take into consideration what opening you like. If I knew someone didn't like a certain opening, I would play it on purpose.
A few weeks ago, someone who was much higher rated then me asked for a draw, because he didn't like the victorian defence. A simple solution for him would be not to play e4.
