This is my game from Devon Junior Championships Round 3.

My opponent was reasonbly strong and he always plays the French which I hate playing against!. I lost and I would really like it if people could help me out with some attacking lines against the french, constructive comments etc...! I was white

.

 

Oh yes, and the grade given is my rapidplay grade!

French supposed to be a defense.

What do you expect us to tell you, grab a book and read about French defence, go download some chess openings software (I have a good one but i cant remember the name right now) and learn about openings.

Your first move sucks. French or no french whats with Qe2??

You just overlooked and blundered too much. Only advice I can give you, is learn some basics about French and pay more atention, if you want to practice come play with me, i love to play French. Every game my opponent started wiht e4 i responed e6.

Autually 2Qe2 is a ok move, which makes black think twice before playing 2...d5. Your opening play was ok, before blundering pawn with Nh4. You chould look up Chigorin game's to see how play this line.

Avatar of Freddie_Confident

exactly Qe2 is an ok line played by Chigorin!

You played quite good game before that knight blunder... I guess you are dissapointed with that blunder and making more blunders...

yes incredibly I hate it when I throw things away like that - thank you so much for being so considering Muspelheim!

I have now decided to play b3 against the French (the reti gambit)!
