The Aggressive French PGN Only Chessable

Like No French Your Opponent Has Ever Seen!

It gave even Bobby Fischer incredible difficulties!

That’s because The French Defense, underestimated by many as ‘quiet and solid’, also contains some of the most interesting attacking possibilities in chess. And this course will show you them.

Chessable community author gonfreecss – a strong 2500+ rated online player – brings you a unique repertoire unlike any other French repertoire on Chessable.

Analyzing offbeat, aggressive, fun, and high-scoring variations, he put together a complete repertoire against 1.e4 in just over 100 lines.

Though compact in size, this course cuts no corners. In addition to thorough, move-by-move instruction, you’ll also have a dedicated chapter on thematic tactics as well as 40 well-annotated model games. So if you don’t beat your opponent right out of the opening, you’ll know how grandmasters like Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, and Francisco Vallejo Pons turn these secret opening weapons into endgame victories.

Rarely Played Variations with Proven Track Records

Here are some of the exciting variations you’ll learn in the course:

3.Nc3 Main Line – in the Classical Steinitz variation, you’ll deviate from the usual early …a6 and …Qb6 recommended in most courses, and set a poisonous trap with an early …Be7, where even natural moves like castling are big mistakes for White!

Tarrasch Variation (3.Nd2) – with the seldom-played Guimard Variation (3…Nc6), you’ll get White out of book early, and set up aggressive kingside attacks with a future …f6 pawn break and great piece activity down the g- and f-files

The rare Guimard Variation gives great attacking possibilities with the bishop pair and open f-file

Exchange Variation (3.exd5) – keeping it simple and solid, you’ll prepare for a very playable middlegame where your opponent will likely shuffle around without a plan!

Advance Variation (3.e5) – an early …Nh6, inviting Bxh6 and a broken pawn structure, is your ticket to brutal assault on White’s king. Though only played in less than 1% of games, this line scores well over 50% for Black!

Don’t be fooled – this ‘ugly’ looking version of the Advance French scores highly for Black!

Swift and powerful remedies for all those annoying sidelines – Schlechter Variation (3.Bd3), King’s Indian Attack, Wing Gambit, Orthoschnapp Gambit – whatever it is, you’re covered with some simple but powerful responses that will yield you a sound but interesting game
