The French: Exchange, 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.Nf3 (C01) is a notable French Defense variation, marked by the move Nf3. Traditionally favored by Mikhail Botvinnik, this system emphasizes counter-punching and pawn chains.
Strategic Context: Deviating from the common French (Bg5), this line chooses Nf3. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a statistically stronger weapon. This move exerts pressure on e5 and d4. Plans should focus on how to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: Going forward, the critical task is to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest White advantage (Eval: +0.78), with a high probability of a draw.
