The French Defense: St. George Defense (C00) is a notable French Defense variation, marked by the move a6. Traditionally favored by Mikhail Botvinnik, this system emphasizes counter-punching and pawn chains.
Strategic Context: Instead of the standard b5, the player opts for a6. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move challenges the opponent. Note that engines consider this speculative, often preferring safer alternatives. The focus should be on rapid development.
Next Steps: The position remains unresolved, requiring precise calculation.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.94), with a high probability of a draw.
Also known as: French: St. George, St. George Defense, 2. d4 a6, San Jorge Variation
