Tried to google for '0-1' e.g. 'Chess French 0-1', but couldn't find anything relevant. Would it be possible for you to refer me to some online resource confirming the name of this variation?
Originally posted by MeadowsYep, I do know that it is part of Winawer; just somehow thought that this variation has to have its own name, due to its distinct originality.

Thanks.

C17 French Defense / Winawer / Advanced 4 e5 c5 / Russian Variation.
What is interesting, if prior to Qg4, the white forces the Black to exchange their bishop i.e.
1. e4 e6
2. d4 d5
3. Nc3 Bb4
3. e5 c5
4. a3 Bc3
5. Qg4 Ne7
the white seems to be better, according to the stats on www.chesslab.com
Originally posted by Korchparoff4. a3 is the main move, but your variation doesn't make sense: 4... Bxc3+ is check so white must first recapture 5. bxc3. This leads to the mainline, for example: 5... Ne7 6. Qg4 Qc7!? 7. Qxg7 Rg8 etc.
