How to play French Defense or how to play against French Defense. Have you ever asked yourself these question? Chess players hate this opening or love this opening, but why is that? It differs from other popular openings, especially some particular variation like Winawer. The center is blocked and if one player advance too much on one side then he can be in danger in another side. It's often very unpredictable. Chess Candidates tournament 2020 brought to us two games with French Defense in Round 3. It's unusual because last time we saw this opening played by candidates 14 years ago. Can you believe that?

Anyway, let's back to the game. Maybe it's not one of the best chess games 2020 but it's definitely great example of good chess videos for intermediate players. You can understand more not only French Defense for white, where you just attack king side and try to crush your stubborn opponent in slow fight.

We hope that Chess Candidates 2020 tournament will bring more good games we can learn from.
