Hey Guys, I just played a great game in the French defence Tarrarch Variation and I was wondering whether I could have played a better move somewhere. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

First of all, you must play 7...cxd4 before you play f6.

The line runs 8.cxd4 f6 9.Nf4 Nxd4 10.Qh5 Ke7 11.exf6 Nxf6 12.Ng6 hxg6 13.Qxh8 Kf7

...with a good game for black.

I don't play KP anymore, but F3 was played too early - you simply opened lines of attack on your king.

Yup, that's really good! I like that. Thanks for the advice!
