Aivars Laizans – Alexei Shirov

1.e4 e6 2. d3 d5 3. Nd2 Nf6 4. g3 b6 5.Bg2 Ba6 6.Ne2 Be7 7. 0-0 d5 8. exd5 exd5 9. c4 0-0 10.d4 Nc6 11. dxc5 Bxc5 12. cxd5 Re8 13. dxc6 Bxe2 14. Qa4 Bxf1 15. Nxf1 Nd5 15. Qc4 Qf4 16. Bf4 Qxb2 0-1

The French Defence is a chess opening characterised by the moves:

1. e4 e6

This is most commonly followed by 2.d4 d5, with Black intending …c5 at a later stage, attacking White’s centre and gaining space on the queenside. White has extra space in the centre and on the kingside and often plays for a breakthrough with f4–f5. The French has a reputation for solidity and resilience, although some lines such as the Winawer Variation can lead to sharp complications. Black’s position is often somewhat cramped in the early game; in particular, the pawn on e6 can impede the development of the bishop on c8.
