Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Alapin Gambit Against the French Defense! Chess Openings Explained

For many e4 players with the white pieces, the French Defense has been a hard chess opening to play against. In fact, at one point in history, the French Defense was so good it was considered illegal in tournament chess! In today's video, we are going over a rare and dangerous response against the French Defense. This is for anyone who is wanting to know how to destroy and dominate the French Defense in epic Mikhail Tal like fashion.

The chess opening itself is called the Alapin Gambit, not to be confused with the Alapin Variation against the Sicilian Defense, but the Alapin Gambit against the French Defense. This opening is dangerous, first off because it is good, second because most French Defense players are not prepared for it. I've been playing chess for 15 years and haven't heard of it until last month! As rare as it is, white has had huge success with it at the grandmaster level. And if chess grandmasters are playing it, I think the rest of us can too!
