C13: Chatard-Alekhine Attack revisited
There's an older thread about the White side of the Chatard-Alekhine attack (1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Bg5 Be7 5 e5 Nfd7 6 h4), but I was hoping to open a discussion of this variation from the Black...

C10: Is 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nc6 playable?
Hi guys,
since a few weeks I am experimentating with this variation: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nc6 , the Guimard variation. I know it is rather popular after 3.Nd2 to play 3... Nc6, is this also playable a... Started 04/18/05 at 13:02:22 by culdesac « Pages 1 2 3 4 all » |

C12: MacCutcheon
I'm still trying to put together my French repertoire, and I think I'm leaning towards 3 ... Nf6 in response to 3 Nc3. I like the positions that arise out of the Steinitz (after 4 e5), which I think ...

C10-C14: Classical French: Dynamic?
Does anyone think that the Classical French, and I'm not talking about the Burn, is suffiently dynamic to be played for a win? I think that is unmistakbly true of Black's side of the Steinitz Variati...

C12: Why no MacCutcheon books?
To my knowledge, there has never been a book published in the UK specifically and solely about the MacCutcheon (Tim Harding's 1979 book also covered the Advance.) Nor, as far as I know, are any planne...

C11: Steinitz with 7 ... Qb6
Some time ago, I spent some effort working on this line. Current books don't do it justice, especially the piece sacrifice, which I think has considerable merit. I've since moved away from these lin...

C10: Hecht-Reefschlager Variation
There have been a few comments on this line (2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 Nc6!?) in the 1 ...Nc6 thread in the Daring Defences section, but I'm not sure there's a separate thread on this interesting line, so I thoug...

C12: Mainline McCutcheon
I was studying the mainline McCutcheon and was surprised that 15...gxh5 seems playable. I don't think it offers Black as much 15...g5, but I thought I'd "throw it out there" in case there were any th...
