The French Defense is one of the most popular and reliable responses to 1.e4. Black invites his opponent to gain space in the center, with the intention of undermining the enemy position and launching a counterattack. Although the amount of theory has expanded in recent years, the French often leads to positions where positional and strategic understanding prove more relevant than long sequences of computer-generated moves.
