Oct-21-02		drukenknight: This is my favorite French defense of all time. Euwe almost pulls this off. You should read ALek.'s note to this. How this variation is inferior, how Euwe is doomed after move 3 or whatever; how this refutes Euwes move, blah blah blah

Aug-06-04		marcusantoinerome: Alekhine does like White's position better in the opening, especially after 10...Rg6. My question is, what is the current assessment of this line? I don't see many top players playing it, but is that just because of fashion, or is it not as good as Alekhine says in "My Best Games"?

Aug-06-04		Zenchess: Chess Tiger likes White all the way after ...Rg6. Maybe this line is underrated for White. His King is much safer than in the main lines of the Winawer because he can castle short.

Mar-22-05		marcusantoinerome: Zenchess and drunkenknight: I've looked at several games that continue 8...Rg6, and I found that the plan for White is usually Qd2, Bb2, 0-0-0, and Ne2-f4. So this suggests to me that castling short is not such a good idea because White's queenside pawns are so weak. When I play this line, that's where I usually have problems. Any ideas on the current grandmaster viewpoint?

Jun-05-08		Magorian: Some sources give 28.a6 a ! After 28... Qxb7 (28... Nb6? is just bad) 29.axb7 Rb8 30.Rfb1 Nb6 31.Bb4 Rc4 32.Rxa7 (Alekhine) white is indeed winning. However 30... Rc6! with the idea of Rb6 seems a lot stronger. White is still better but not so much. 28.a6! should be 28.a6?! or even 28.a6? 28.Rfb1 is probably better i.e. 28... Qxb7 29.Rxb7 Bc6 30.Re7 Re8 31.Nxf5

Jul-17-12		Calli: A nice photo of the game: http://www.geheugenvannederland.nl/... AA is thinking about his 22nd move, I believe.

Dec-31-12		Conrad93: This is not the Winckelmann-Riemer Gambit. It's followed by 6.f3. Source: The Wonderful Winawer.
