Thanks John, it was probably not wise to take the pawn, and as Taylor
Kingston says, 'it is not a Winawer' French, since by definition any TN this
early is automatically not classifed as any 'named defence', but it does not
seem to have a name and has the Winawer feature of the Queen sortie. My game
did not continue as this one, and I waited until move 28 to get even on
material.
Which seemed like a hell of a long time to me!
This is an interesting reference you provide, is it called 'exiles' because
it was played outside Latvia? And in the year before I was born?
Everything old is new.
I never knew it, for sure. My game proceeded this way - of which I have very
many doubts to the soundness of my play
But the compensation was in a constant intiative. I also played the same
person with the black bits and played a 'Fischer' move in a modern benoni,
again which he took, and again perhaps unsoundly. Here is this game to the
point of material equality. I admit, I always prefer the white side.
