I thought by using the french as an example in our PMs I'd fool you into thinking I'm familiar with it and therefore influence you into choosing a different opening. RIP that plan.

Well whenever I play against the French, it has to be the less common:
3. e5
Hopefully you don't play advanced too often.
Edit: Removed double use of "well" in the same sentence.

I'm pretty low rated to be honest (Sub 1000 ELO on chess.com, not that I've played there in years), but openings are fun! I'm hoping that having this extra time to think and calculate variations will allow me to play much better.
9. Nbd2!?

The moment you played e6 I pulled out my book on gambits, and found the milner-barry. Not much to it.
But yes, I love gambits because they keep the game open and tactical. Positional play and strategy is definitely my weakness, even after reading "How to Reassess Your Chess", " Weapons of Chess " and I'm currently on "The Complete Book of Chess Strategy" by Jeremy Silman.
How long have you been playing chess? What's your repertoire?

Ouch. I appear to be outmatched. That's fine. I trust (hope?) that I know this specific position better than you.
Anyway, I checked, so here are my ratings:
Bullet - 1062
Blitz - 1124
Rapid - 1234
I was very much mistaken.

You can play it now or a move or two later, no difference as it's check, so yes.

Damn wow, that's a really good move. I had a line in mind for Rb8, but that would be super passive anyway.
I think I'm a lot worse now. Back into the think tank.

I was thinking Bb5 Bx Rx comes with a punch against the c5 bishop but that's off the table now.

I thought the following line:
Fascinated as to what you saw wrong with Be7.
Anyway I'm really tempted to snap Nxh7 but it's safer to stop and calculate the new lines, so this'll still take a while.

If Nxh7 there is the killer interference move Nf5. Followed up by the same Qa4, and how do you prevent the fork on g3?
