Stockfish 16 breaks the French with a NEW Concept!

[@pawnquacker]

Stockfish's attack was impressive, and those strategic knight regroups were beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@sergiutofilat3360]

Indeed another great game by the Fish, thanks for the review

That French Tarrasch variation [1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3. Nd2 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Bd3 c5 6.c3 Nc6 7.Ne2 +/=] was shown to be chronically problematic for Black ever since Geller vs. Uhlmann Skopje 1968, and was the reason ~50 years ago Korchnoy always played 3...c5 (instead of 3...Nf6) in his 1974 match games vs. Karpov.

[@TomJones-tx7pb]

Agree. Still, brilliant attacking chess by Stockfish. Also, in general black trading off his "bad" light squared bishop can turn out quite badly for him in the French. Karpov had a rare loss as black trying this idea in an advanced French.

"A beautiful, beautiful theoretical novelty!"

What en epic game, really enjoyed it! Thanks great review! The Fish rocks :)

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

A brilliant attacking idea. I stopped playing the Tarrasch because of Ba6, Will try it again now. Thanks Josip.

iam afollower of your best chess Channel iplay avery nice chess attacking games like SF with wild complications and power play thanks Mozarov for interactive learning

[@Ethnicparty]

Yeah, a great game. You know I 've already thinked recently of switching to the Tarrash variation against the French defence, for the Vinaver line is too wild, exchange French is too mild, and the 3.e5 line is somehow slow

Stockfish vs the illuminati!?

[@physics2112]

Like or Dislike: Like. I've been experimenting with the Guimard Variation of the Tarrasch French, but White always seems to have an easier time finding moves under time pressure.

It’s like; the French is annoying because it’s boring. But it’s great because I always beat it.
