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

Up through White's move 6, I believe this is called Anderssen's
Variation. At best, Black's sixth move just lets White go back into
standard lines a tempo up.


and has the Winawer feature of the Queen sortie.

The "Queen sortie" is a feature of many lines in both the Steinitz and
Anderssen Variations, among others. As Taylor mentions, it's ....
B-QN5 on the third move that distinguishes the Winawar Variation.


Uhhhh, there's this web site called "Chessville" with a nice summary
of French Defense terminology:
