  • The French v. the Canadian Closed

    The French scored as well as anything during the Canadian Closed....everything was basically tried against it, 2.d3, the exchange, advance, tarrasch 3.Nc3 (including a few Winawers). so if i ever were to sell my soul ;) and play the French i shouldn't count on getting all the way to 3.Nc3 Bb4 eh?

    Re: The French v. the Canadian Closed

    Craig, you haven't been following this board closely enough. The French is a silly opening and anyone who plays it should be severely punished. Confusing the discussion with facts is a very underhanded tactic!

        Have you done any studies on if the French Defence appeals more to left handed people and the Caro-Kann to right handed people? It would be interesting for those who associate left and right handedness with hemisperic brain dominance.
