NOr has he played Weyerstrass, or even me...
Edit: clicking the trash can will hardly give you any experience against it for when you can't (i.e. clan or tournament games).
I'll play you and Zebano in time..when I have less games IP.
I'll even play 1.e4 and let you play the French. 😉

does anyone have some good games with the french where white won with the closed variation 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5 and any variations that deviate from this i'm interested in. i can play the open french quiet well but when it comes to the closed french i get killed and want to know how to better my play in it. thanks

A very lively game is in progress!
Another try is the Alapin Variation: 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Be3 de 4 Nd2. Leads to play similar to the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit: 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 f3 de 4 Nc3.
