French Defence: Advance Variation

[edit | edit source]

Here Black has built up quite some pressure on White's d4-pawn, luckily there are still enough defenders.
White has several options. They can:

  1. Prepare a gambit by playing 6.Bd3.
  2. Develop their pieces, but without the intention of sacrificing a pawn (6.Be2)
  3. Prepare an expansion on the queenside (6.a3).
