We continue in part 2 of the French Defense to see in depth analysis of the finer points that black should concentrate on when playing this defense and how to look for weaknesses in white’s attack.

Name of the following chess opening?
1.e4e5
2.c3d6

I have been using this opening with good results. However, I don’t know what’s its name in order to study its variants.
Thanks in advance.
The infamous Fishing Pole opening from the book “How to Play Chess like an Animal” by Anthea Carson and Life Master Brian Wall.
Which players, by Paul Morphy for example, were good in mentioned three areas; centre fighting, open and dynamic games.
Does positional play mean less dynamic?
Thanks for answers!
which one gives fastest developing?
When I play Black, I tend to find it difficult to neutralize White’s opening initiative.
I feel that there must be certain advantages in positioning where Black could stop White.
Theoretically, can symmetrical opening work in favor for Black? I think that Black can continue to imitate White as long it is feasible and desirable to do so, and deviate when that ceases to be the case.
I like an awesome discussion about chess. Thanks for your input.
This video overviews the 5.a3 variation of the Grand Prix attack in the Sicilian Defense. I learned about this line from an article written by Michael Goeller from the Kenilworth Chess Club website: www.kenilworthchessclub.org Basically I don’t have full confidence in it as a full-time weapon against 1…c5 but it makes a nice change of pace line. I have won several games with the ‘delayed Wing Gambit’ 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.a3 e6 6.b4!? Many players will take twice on b4 which gives Black a really bad position. But I prefer the defense 6…b6 7.e5 d5. Also the line 5…d6 6.Bc4 is not as great for White as it’s supposed to be. I think I will make another video on this as I sort of rushed to get this one under 11 min.
The Blackmar Diemer Gambit is one of the most aggressive lines that white can play as it gives up his king’s pawn as early as the 2nd move in the game and then looks to also give up his king’s bishop’s pawn. White does this to have an advantage in development and keep the black king at bay while white punishes black for his lack of development www.thechesswebsite.com Chess Software used in the video can be found at http and www.chessok.com
An introduction to the Ulvestad Variation(5…b5) in the Two Knights’ Defense. The Ulvestad presents a very powerful alternative to the typical 5…Na5, especially because the best response 6.Bf1 is almost never seen below expert level.
