♛ Find the French Defense opening traps shown in the video in this blog-post – https://chess-teacher.com/french-defense-traps/
The French Defense is one of the most solid chess openings for Black against 1.e4, starting with 1…e6 to establish a strong and flexible pawn structure. The mainline continues with 2.d4 d5, leading to a solid game.
In this video lesson, you’ll discover the top 7 most important chess opening traps in the French Defense, applicable to both White and Black. These traps come from popular lines, including the Classical Variation, Advance Variation, Steiner Variation, and the Exchange Variation.
These traps are so powerful that White can achieve a winning position—or even checkmate the Black king—in just about 10 moves!
And here’s the best part: even Hikaru Nakamura fell victim to one of these clever traps while playing as White against the French Defense.
