1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4	So what is the advantages of french opening corresponding to winawer opening.We will briefly see.



4. e5	e5 is most common use.Because white purpose would control the middle and block the e6 pawn.



4... c5	Black also try to destroy d4 because white e5 getting weeker.



5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 Ne7 7. Qg4 O-O 8. Bd3	white want to attack black right side.But one very important thing is this attack could be success.Middle is too crowded and that can effect black movment badly.
	2 comments damalfi (1200) on 19-May-11: I guess Bh6 right now is answered by Ng6, but leaves white a powerful attack starting with h4. If b7xBh6, h5. Anyway, all this is probably premature. bvr04 (1200) on 19-May-11: This is not premature - the move would have to be played anyway, and in many games black loses by white's bishop sacrifice on h7.


8... f5	this move purpose is open game for black and also threat white queen.



9. Qh5 Qa5 10. Bd2 Qa4 11. Nf3 c4 12. Be2	white secrafice c2 for purpose.



12... Qxc2 13. O-O Nbc6 14. Bd1 Qb2 15. Ba4 Qb6 16. Bc2 h6 17. g4	This move higly effective for white.All in all I thing fxg4 lose the game for black.Open files always be dangerous for rooks.And if white king move h1 and after castle g1 then this is very serious danger for black.Espacially game is stuck in the middle and black queen and other peaces can not come for help easily.



17... fxg4 18. Qxg4 Nf5 19. Kh1 Qb2 20. Bxf5 exf5 21. Qh5 f4 22. Rfg1	that moves I already mention 17.moves.



22... Rf7	Black try to protect g7 pawn and also try to not collapse right side defance but it is too late for that.
	1 comment bvr04 (1200) on 19-May-11: why did white not play Qxh6 on the next move? EDIT: oh, I get it: Qxh6 Qxa1! Rxa1 gxh6


23. Rae1 Nd8 24. e6	e6 also another sacriface for strong game play.
	1 comment damalfi (1200) on 19-May-11: It seems wiser for black to prevent white's pawn advance with Bd6, maybe.


24... Nxe6 25. Ne5 Re7 26. Ng4	this move could easily collapse black defance.And the most important thing is everybody could focus that black queen is very uneffected the game because of middle play game.
	3 comments urnesthemingouey (1805) on 19-May-11: Realy good sacrifice of a bishop. The game looks to be a master class, because of the resignation more than five moves befor the end. Nice! damalfi (1200) on 19-May-11: Let's see: 26... QxBd2. 27. Nxh6+ seems the most logical following. 28. Qf5+, Ke8. Say white goes on with 29. Ng8 (if RxN, BxR, Qg6+, Kd7 and escapes inmediate mate). Black cannot drop the rook from e7, but has Qxc3. If white goes 30. NxR, Qf3+ stops the g rook to get in (31. Rg2, pinned). RxNe7 is now playable, and probably black will lose anyway, but... just resign? Black is +3, so white has still to prove he will either recover or mate. Another path for white is 29. Qg6+, Kd8. I won't say I'll like to be black, but it is not so obvious for me white will win easily. agmac (1200) on 24-Jun-11: If 26...Qxd2 27. Nxh6+ Kf8 28. Nf5! followed by 29. Qh8+ Kf7 30. Rxg7+ etc...
