no de los mayores problemas que enfrenta un jugador de ajedrez principiante es

decidir cmo elaborar un repertorio de aperturas. Esta serie de Aperturas para

Principiantes de est diseada para abordar el problema sugiriendo esquemas de
apertura que son muy similares en estructura e idea. Mientras que la anterior serie Ataque
Stonewall para principiantes ofrece una estrategia integral para la apertura de las piezas
blancas, la Defensa Frenchtown proporciona una excelente solucin sobre cmo
responder cmodamente con negras contra e4. La defensa es una apertura opcion para la
francesa muy slida que tambin es muy fcil de aprender. La Parte 1 de esta serie
Defensa Francesa para principiantes cubre las respuestas del negro a las principales del

Esta es una de las lneas ms agresivas que las blancas pueden emplear en contra de la
Defensa Francesa, y recomiendo para las negras espcializarse en una configuracin
comunmente usada que sigue despus de 3 Cf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. f4!? c5 6. Cf3 Cc6 que
conduce a la presin del centro amplio de peones blancos en las casillas negras. Aunque
la posicin del negro es un poco ms estrecha, es muy tenaz y bien coordinada. Mientras
que hay otras lneas principales se refieren a ideas con temprana Qb6, le recomiendo que
sea sencillo y jugar con principios de expandir el flanco de dama, con el 7. A6 y 8.
b5!? Dependiendo de la respuesta del blanco, el negro puede continuar con movimientos
naturales de desarrollo como Ab7, Ae7, y 0-0 por lo general la planificacin para
aumentar la tensin contra el centro blanco, con una tarde f6. El negro tambin
mantiene excelente tensin contra la posicin de las blancas con la amenaza constante de

 cxd4 y b4. Mi consejo para el jugador con menos experiencia Mantn todo Simple,
terminando su desarrollo y enroque para obtener un rey a salvo antes de intentar abrir la
posicin con la ruptura temtica f6.

Para el resto de este video, examinar algunas lneas laterales-que podran aparecer de vez
en cuando. Cubro la desviacin principal del blanco llamada la Defensa Francesa:
Variante Suiza, y tambin la Defensa Francesa: Variante Burns y recomendar un
tratamiento muy similar que alivie la presin central y que rpido permite una cmoda
igualdad al negro. Recomiendo hacer seguimiento a los movimientos simples en
desarrollo, como Ae7 0-0, Cbd7, y una rpida c5 para socavar el centro blanco
o un plan tranquilo, ms posicional implica b6 y ??Ab7 .

ne of the biggest problems a beginner chess player can face is

deciding how to put together an opening repertoire. This

BeginnerChess Openings Series is designed to address this problem
by suggesting opening schemes that are very similar in structure and
ideology. While the previous Stonewall Attack Beginner Chess
Opening series provides you with a comprehensive opening strategy
for the white pieces, the French Defense provides an excellent
solution on how to comfortably answer as black against 1. e4.
The French Defense is an extremely solid opening choice that is also
very easy to learn. Part 1 of this French Defense Beginner Chess
Openings series covers blacks responses to whites main lines
involving 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6

Part 3 Beating the French Sidelines

FRENCH: STEINITZ VARIATION- 1. E4 E6 2. D4

D5 3. NC3 NF6 4. E5 NFD7 5. F4!?
This is one of the most aggressive lines that white can employ against
the French Defense, and I recommend black specialize in a commonly
used set-up involving 3. Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. f4!? c5 6. Nf3 Nc6
leading to ample pressure against whites big central pawns on the
dark squares. Although blacks position is slightly cramped, it is very
tenacious and well-coordinated. While there are other main lines
involving early ideas with Qb6, I recommend to Keep It Simple and
play for early queenside expansion with 7. a6 and 8. b5!?
Depending on whites response, black can continue with natural

developing moves like Bb7, Be7, and 0-0 typically planning to

increase the tension against whites center with a later f6. Black is
also maintaining excellent tension against whites position with
constant threats of cxd4 and b4. My advice for the less
experienced player Keep It Simple by finishing your development
and castling to get your king safe before trying to open the position
with the thematic break f6.

SIDE-LINES AFTER 1. E4 E6. D4 D5 3. NC3

NF6
For the remainder of this video, I examine some side-lines that might
pop up occasionally. I recommend that black again follows the
simplest and most solid continuations, usually revolving around a
quick exchange dxe4 to avoid complicated lines. I cover the
principal deviations for white called the French Defense: Swiss
Variation and also the French Defense: Burns Variation and
recommend a very similar treatment that alleviates the central
pressure and rapidly allows black a comfortable equality. I
recommend to follow up with simple developing moves such as Be7,
0-0, Nbd7, and a quick c5 to undermine whites center or a
quieter, more positional plan involving b6 and Bb7.

Stay Tuned for Parts 2 and 3 of this French Defense Beginner Chess
Openings Series, which will review other main lines and sidelines in
the French Defense to take you one step closer to having a complete
opening repertoire you can rely on.

EARLY BF5 = DEVIATE TO THIS NEW IDEA

Starting with a common line involving an early bf5, I recommend deviating from the
Stonewall in favor of a simple continuation aimed at exploiting blacks weak pawn on b7
with a rapid c4 and Qb3. This will typically allow white to obtain a small advantage out of
the opening as black does not have a comfortable way of defending this b7 pawn without
incurring long-term weaknesses. White should play very actively on the queenside to make
the most out of this slight opening advantage.
Side Note: Even though white lost the above game, he achieved an excellent position
and attack out of the opening.

BISHOP COMPLICATIONS
For the second half of the video, I check out an interesting idea for black to immediately
exchange off whites powerful light-squared bishop on d3 with 4. Nb4 and 5. Nxd3+. I
recommend white to recapture with cxd3 to enhance control over the center, especially the
critical e4 square. Next, white needs to play extremely actively to take advantage of blacks
time-consuming knight maneuver in the early opening. Although white no longer has the
light-squared bishop, he should continue with the normal attacking plan involving Ne5, Rf3,
Rh3, Qf3, and g4. It is important to remember that white should not be thrown off track by
this sideline, and should continue with the principled attacking plans in the Stonewall.

STONEWALL ATTACK PART 4 HOW TO

BEAT THE FIANCHETTO DEFENSES

Mikhail Botvinnik - World Chess Champion

art 4 of the Stonewall Attack Series features a real game I use as an example to

show how to beat a fianchetto defense by black. It features none other than
former World Chess Champion Mikhail Botvinnik employing the Stonewall
Defense with the black pieces in Groningen 1946 against Herman Steiner.

How to beat a Fianchetto Defense

Botvinnik responds to d4 with an interesting move order, however with 6. d5 he confirms

the basic structure of the Stonewall and establishes an air-tight grip on the e4 square. This
game is a fantastic example of how to attack with the Stonewall against a fianchettoed
kingside, demonstrating an accurate queen manuever with 9. Qe8 and 10. Qh5
steadily increasing the pressure against whites kingside while preventing any type
ofcounterplay in the center. Botvinnik goes on to seize space and clamp down on the white
position with 15. f4! after which white is unable to discover an active plan to fight back
against blacks attack. Botvinnik follows with an excellent rook maneuver 20. Rf7! which
enables the most efficient regrouping of blacks pieces for a decisive kingside attack.
Botvinnik finishes the game by establishing the focal point of his attack on g2 to tie whites
pieces down, only to change the direction of his pieces towards the indefensible h2 square.
This game is a great example of how to use the Stonewall to systematically break down a
fianchetto defense.

Karpov shows how to dismantle the Queen's Gambit Declined!

(vs Yusupov) - Vol 2

Karpov opens with 1. d4 and GM Artur Yusupov responds with the Queen's Gambit Declined,
leading to Karpov's Petrosian Variation with 7. Qc2 which provoked an extremely interesting
novelty from Yusupov with 8. e4 Nxe4!? 9. Bxe7 Kxe7 - leading to extremely double-edged play.
Karpov was instantly able to seize a dangerous initiative against black's exposed king, although
Yusupov did achieve an eclectic sort of counterplay based on white's inability to activate the
Rh1. Karpov's execution of the attack was near-perfect as he maintained control of the game
through a long series of checks that he used to gain valuable time on the clock. The former
World Chess Champion emerged from the complications with an extra exchange that he
converted with immaculate technique by first fixing the h7 pawn and gaining tempi while
developing his rooks and checking black's king.
