The Exchange French is not as drawish as you may think... Kather-@ginger_gm from round 1 of the @ReykjavikOpen #chess

New weekly post, on finding your own personal heroes in particular openings or middlegame structures, and learning from them.
With chess openings, especially, it's good to focus on understanding the middlegames in this way rather than trying to memorise.

@hellokostya In this type of question the answer is always 'no' 🤭 and in this one for the g5 and Rd3 given on other answers

@EliteMindSports Everyone sees the moves, the only issue is the order....

[French Defence @TheFrenchDef]

@danheisman 1.Nc5 0-0-0 :-) 2.Nd7++

[EliteMinds @EliteMindSports]

Beautiful geometry! White to play and win by Liburkin, 1947. #Chess #EliteMindPuzzles

[French Defence @TheFrenchDef]

@Lunch__enjoyer @EliteMindSports Or maybe better 2.f4+... If there was not a little issue with f4 ;-)

Bored with life, looking for strong emotions? You can always play the French. Have a look at this game from World #RapidBlitz round 5 🤯 https://t.co/1toAw5R6DD #chess

[French Defence @TheFrenchDef]

So you don't like the French... 🤔 Please have a look at @MagnusCarlsen 's game from round 1 of the World #RapidBlitz and report back: https://t.co/JqAdHhFUGt #Chess

Keymer resigned after 64...Rg2 by @MagnusCarlsen in #AimchessRapid. Af first I didn't understand the move. Aiming for the check on h8 seemed natural... but then I saw Magnus' devilish idea... wow!

[French Defence @TheFrenchDef]

But after 28...N4d5 29.Bxd5? Ng4 Erigaisi resigned. Can you see the difference?

[French Defence @TheFrenchDef]

28...Ng4 seemed to win in this position for @MagnusCarlsen, but there is a small problem with that move...

@chess24com The team is working for Magnus to get Gold on the first board...

[French Defence @TheFrenchDef]

@TERendle ...Rxg2! won't save the rook, but it should win the game

[French Defence @TheFrenchDef]

@ZibbitVideos A French Defense player should find ...Qc3 in about a second...
