Is Tarrasch better than Winawer, practically, if the knight can then go to f3?

Creative moves can be played in The Tarrasch French Defense for White, and Jesse starts with examining a great piece sacrifice that would ‘liberate White’s discomfort’ in a popular and trendy line of the Tarrasch…g5 variation. The video is targeted toward advanced players and the main focus is about how the d2 knight can improve its position, but Jesse is also keen to show that keeping it on f3, supporting the other pieces, is better than sending it further in to attack at g5. There is also some nice variations of the ‘Greek Gift Style’ attack on h7.
