Hi! i played the variation in many online games and some otb games... It is not the only variation i play against 1...e6 of course but i like its surprise...
Thanks for response... I would like to show one of my games where I (as White) fell into troubles... Could we review it to find an improvement? [Date...
I agree for surprise effect - it gives additional "dimension' (value) to variation :-) 1. But, at first, I want to notice that Black couldn't accept challenge...
I do not play the Alapin as White, not the accepted as Black, however Tim Sawyer's book on the Alapin French gives after 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Be3 dxe4 4. Nd2...
Yep, but players not always select moves done in books... ;-) I found 8. ... e5 as very strong and managed to simplifiations thinking about finding escape...
It's great to have the existence of this group. Really hope I'll get better after being here for a while. I decided to play the French since I was completely...

... Hmmmmm. Not sure what to make of that. Certainly not what I wanted to hear but then the move does have some motivation. It hits d4, it prevents the a4, Ba3...
Hej Mats Sat and pondered some on the question of 8...Ba4 you put to us the other day. Here goes. In my op. the B move is premature as it sacs. the pawn on b7....
Hello, Thanks for the comments, but it seems that everyone wants me to change variation ;-) About move 6 I think I'll stay with 6. - Ne7. I have had so many...
