I highly recommend going through this article series by FischyVIshy about Caruana against the French Defense here. I found it very instructive and very well-annotated. There is about four articles about it and will help you a lot
Hello all,
I am currently studying the French Defence and am working on a Lichess study (and accompanying series of Youtube videos) where I learn French Defence opening theory by analyzing games played between strong players.
As I am still learning, I am interested in any games that you all might know that have great theoretical value or where the players played very well (or had some interesting ideas).
So, I ask you all: what are your favourite games that feature the French Defence? And also, who are your favourite players who use it on a regular basis? Personally I really like the way that Shirov plays the French.
