{ The French Defense is a chess opening characterized by the moves 1. e4 e6. This is most commonly followed by 2.d4 d5, with Black intending ...c5 at a later stage, attacking White's centre and gaining space on the queenside.

White has extra space in the centre and on the kingside and often plays for a breakthrough with f4‚Äìf5.

The French has a reputation for solidity and resilience. Black's position is often somewhat cramped in the early game; in particular, the pawn on e6 can impede the development of the bishop on c8. } 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 { [%csl Gc8,Gf7,Ge6,Gd5][%cal Gc7c5] } *
