Play online chess |  Subject: Calling all players of the French Defence
Message:
I played the following (over-the-board) game at my club on Monday night and I was wondering a) if anyone had actually seen Black's second move played before and b) do you think it's a valid move?
I only play the French defence (as Black) if I transpose into it, so I don't consider myself an expert on the variations of it.

this is not a french opening. It is just an off-beat line. (B00 ECO) It is not a very good one since your opponent blocks in his bishop with d5.

That was my thought as well, when he played it and since the Bishop went back to c8 on move 27, it seems to indicate it should have been on this diagonal all along.
Thanks for your input.

Skilled at the Chessboard, Keyboard and Blackboard — Chess produces prodigies. So do mathematics and music. And while the relationship between chess and mathematics is clear, and many accomplished mathematicians are also skilled musicians, it is unusual to find a prodigy in all three areas. Noam Elkies, who turned 44 on Wednesday, is that rare triple threat. A Manhattan native, he graduated from Stuyvesant High School by age 15, and at the top of his class at Columbia University three years later. He earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard at 20. He became the youngest winner of the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition for undergraduates when he was 16. Ten years later, he became the youngest full professor in ...

David Howell neglects British title defence to seek tougher challenges — England's youngest chess grandmaster David Howell, 19, made an ambitious and bold decision last month, when he opted to miss defending the British title he won in 2009. Instead Howell decided to test himself at higher levels, at three strong European chess events in two of which he was seeded near the bottom. The policy looked dubious in the early rounds of the young grandmasters invitation at Biel, Switzerland where Howell began with 1.5/6. But the Sussex teenager, who sometimes used to fade under pressure, fought back to a solid 3½/9. Then he made a strong 8½/11 total in the highly rated world rapids (30-minute games) in Mainz, Germany, losing only to Russia's elite GM Sergey Karjakin. This ...

A Nimble Chess Artist — The former U.S. chess champion Hikaru Nakamura is fast. The quicker the pace on the chess board, the more he seems to enjoy playing. His nimble skills helped him to secure a place for the next traditional Amber tournament, a blindfold and rapid chess extravaganza played every spring on the French Riviera. Competing at the NH tournament in Amsterdam, Nakamura, 22, led the Rising Stars to a 26-24 victory over the chess veterans, the Experience team, on Sunday. Another member of the winning team, the young Dutch champion Anish Giri, 16, had an identical 6-4 score as Hikaru, but only one could qualify for the Amber tournament. In the blitz playoff, Nakamura defeated Giri 2-0, ensuring ...

Nestorix, I agree that c5 would have made more sense for Black earlier than it was played.

Every country was invited to send its best young chess players, born in 1990 or later.

Rising Chess Stars Win NH Chess Tournament — In the end, youth was served, but barely. The NH tournament in the Netherlands ended Sunday in victory for the young team of “rising stars.” They edged the “experience” team 26 to 24. Last year the experience team won, 27.5 to 22.5. The chess tournament was organized under the Scheveningen system in which the members of each group play all the members of the other group twice. The top players for the rising stars were Hikaru Nakamura of the United States and Anish Giri of the Netherlands, who each scored 6 points. Giri was ahead of Nakamura before the last round, but he lost to Peter Heine Nielsen of Denmark, while Nakamura drew with Boris Gelfand of Israel, the top-ranked chess ...
