8.Qd3 looks good to me.  White appears to have long term compensation.


My Houdini is saying that 12...Nb6 is dubious White will have advantage after Rh6 +/-
what to do if black plays 12...a6 instead of 12...Nb6


I looked at 8.Qd3 a few years ago, and iirc 8...Nf8!? was/is an interesting resource for black, in the long term black seemed able to consolidate the pawn (iirc with Bd7+0-0-0 or even b6, Bb7 & 0-0-0), but it's not impossible that today's engines can find some tangible for white - I haven't looked at it since then...

In 2000, the BCCA [http://www.dbsugden.clara.net/bccaarea.htm] organised a thematic postal tournament to test 6 h4. This was one of the games, which followed Luiz Roberto's analysis up to move 12. I felt I gained an edge, but could make nothing of it. See what you think.

[Event "BCCA selected openings"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "2000.09.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Adams, Phil"]
[Black "Hanison, B."]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[ECO "C13"]
[PlyCount "51"]

White doesn't have a chance in any of those lines.

I'm highly surprised to see 6 ...h6 recommended as a refutation, both on general grounds and because so far as I'm aware most books on the French consider that both 7 Be3(!) and 7 Be7 (and maybe even 7 Bf4) are good for White; one of the key games as I understand it is Hellers--Bareev played in, if my memory serves, 1987.

Would you care to provide some analysis to corroborate your view that this is good for Black? What is your improvement over Hellers--Bareev?

Guys, Hello. From my own experience the Alekhine-Chatard is easily refuted via 1.e4,e4; d4,d5; 3.Nc3,Nf6; 4.Bg5,Be7; 5.e5,Nfd7;6.h4?!,h6!

Gufeld doesn't like it but it is terribly efficient.

What are your comments on it?. Any refutation?

I think it's better 12.Qf3 Nb6 13.g4 h4= Ljubicic - V. Kovacevic, Mravinci 1994.

Black is OK but with 10...Nxd4!? and not 10..g6.

Here is a game that convinced me Black is OK:

Kronborg-Kley, corr 1991-93
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e5 Nfd7 6.h4 Bxg5 7.hxg5 Qxg5 8.Nh3 Qe7 9.Nf4 Nc6 10.Qg4 g6 11.OOO h5! 12.Qg3 Nb6 13.Bd3 Bd7 14.Bxg6 Rg8! 15.Rxh5 fxg6 16.Rg5 OOO 17.Nxg6 Qh7 18.Ne2 Be8 19.Nef4 Bxg6 20.Nxg6 Rg7 21.f4 Rdg8 22.Nh4 Nb4 23.Qf2 Rxg5 24.fxg5 Qh5 25.Nf3 Nxa2+ 26.Kb1 Nb4 and Black had a simple win.

Getting back to 8.Qd3 g6, I believe g6 should have ?!  ??? ???annotation attached.  The right move looks like 8.Qd3 h6!?. 8.Qd3 g6 causes longterm black square weakness for the black side.  After h6, the Knight move to attack the Queen, Qe7 and  immediate a6, Black position looks solid.

Why is it so obvious that black will only play one variation? i know strong players who play both 3.-Bb4 and 3.-Nf6 and within each major defence there are several interesting choices for black, only in the Winawer there are several interesting lines: play 5.-Ba5, and after 5...bxc3 there are Qc7 intending to defend g7 with f5 or the vacuum cleaner variation with Nge7 and Qc7, or Kindermann & Dirr's 0-0 'castling into the attack' but still very viable.

Both sides have a hard time in the french main lines, white has to be prepared to face a plethora of dangerous lines, while black has to choose which one to test in the present game!  Cheesy
