Frequently Asked Questions

Is the French Defense good in chess?

Yes! It is one of the most solid opening choices and is very popular among positional players. Magnus himself have played french defense in past and had good results.

What is the weakness of French Defense?

French defense Is not very friendly with his queen's bishop or light square bishop. Usually, white tries to take benefit of this weakness by not allowing black to develop it's queen's bishop to good square. Caro-kann on the other hand offers similar solid structure but with developed light square bishop.
