The French: Exchange, 4.c4 c6 (C01) is a notable French Defense variation, marked by the move c6. Traditionally favored by Mikhail Botvinnik, this system emphasizes counter-punching and pawn chains.
Strategic Context: Deviating from the common French (Nf6), this line chooses c6. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a statistically stronger weapon. This move supports the center aggressively. Note that engines consider this speculative, often preferring safer alternatives. Plans should focus on how to focus on maneuvering and wing expansion and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: Going forward, the critical task is to prioritize maneuvering and flank attacks.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +1.01), with a high probability of a draw.
