	Thanks for this kylemeister! -- I'm not sure I've even seen this thread before. Will get swotting. I'd love to see discussions of 3 ...d6 and 3 ...g6, though this might not be the place ...

	There was considerable jabber about the Barcza-Larsen here. http://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1190012679

	[quote]The bottom line is that Black's game is not so easy after 3.d5. [/quote] This is often suggested, but are things so clear? Which line(s) do you think call Black's play into question, Markovich? I can't as yet find any comments by TopNotch either, but there are one or two comments on this move order (and on the F-B) later on in this thread, which you might like to take a look at: http://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1090430586/0 As well as 3 ...ed 4 ed d6, Black can also try 3 ...g6 (the so-called Gunderam Defence), or 3 ...d6 first, which might lead to positions discussed here: http://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1258418490/9#9 (replies 9--13)

Thanks There's a good discussion of this, somewhere on these boards, by the redoubtable TopNotch, but I can't remember where. Maybe if you message him, he can. The bottom line is that Black's game is not so easy after 3.d5.

	yes you're right, c3 does seem to get back to the French. Black's alternatives at this point are not too attractive

	I don't get it.. You say yourself that your 'nemesis' plays the French advance. With your move order it is quite likely he will play 3. c3 and aim for the French advance. I predict no Kan.. As a side-note I don't think you can force White into an open sicilian (that is purely White's choice).

	The line is called Franco Benoni. White can either enter sicilian by Nf3 or play d5. Dont know theory on d5 since I like to play open sicilian as both colours.

	You probably assume that he's not too comfortable in Benoni type positions then, because 3.d5 (the Franco-Benoni) is considered the strongest response and slightly better for White. It's not unplayable for Black though. There is also 3.c3 which can lead back to his Advance French with 3...d5 4.e5 or to a c3 Sicilian with 3...Nf6 4.e5. Black should equalize even when he is committed to both Nf6 and e6, but it's good to be aware of the transposition.
