I'm tired of playing the Winawar or the Steinitz, the Advance Variation is stuffy, and I really don't wish to listen to mateulose's incessant whining. (Kidding, mate. Kidding.)

honestly, i'm not very familiar with the variations. I started to read up on the French after I took some lessons, but I stopped.

Here's a quote from another grandmaster from the 20's, Akiba Rubenstein: "dooOO00D, the French Defense is teh suck, people who play it are teh fux0r3d" Rubenstein was one of the top 5 players in the world at the time, so he must have known what he was talking about.
Uh, yea. That's it. 🙂

There. Now this position resmbles the French about as much as my play resembles a Grandmaster's.
By the way, I apologize for being away for so long. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is hella addicting. 🙄
