The MacCutcheon French (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Bb4) is looking very nice these days for Black. The only problem is that White almost always sidesteps into the Steinitz Variation with 4.e5. Perhaps that is not too bad? A question for another time. In any event, here is a MacCutcheon webliography (no book sources this time!) which might be taken as a new installment in my French Defense Repertoire (which I've explored in one, two, three, four previous posts).
De Firmian - Nakamura, United States Championship 2006 by IM John Watson
DeFirmian - Akobian, Foxwoods 2006 by GM Varuzhan Akobian
Requires ICC membership. This is the type of lecture that makes ICC so great. A stunning game with even more stunning subvariations. Who would have thought to play ...a5! to keep the pawn at a4 on a White square?
