The French: 2.Nf3 d5 3.e5 (C00) is a distinct French Defense variation, defined by the move e5. Historically played by Mikhail Botvinnik, this system highlights counter-punching and pawn chains.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual Nc3, the player opts for e5. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move directly controls d4 and f4. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with c5, leading into the French.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.20), with a high probability of a draw.
