One of the most sharp variations of the game - the Winawer variation, which sometimes goes totally crazy. At this point Black player decides to spend tempi on exchanging white square bishop on a6. White will have advantage, but should they lose a tempo, then black can be ok.

The Winawer Variation is one of the main lines in the French Defense for black and begins with the moves:
1.e4 e6
2.d4 d5
3.Nc3 Bb4
Nc3 helps support the e4 pawn which is currently under attack. Bb4 pins down the white knight to the king and renders is useless to defend against the dxe4 attack that black is threatening. White can’t continue with normal moves such as Nf3 or Be2 as they both lose to dxe4. White must counter attack black’s bishop or move the pawn out of harms way. Below are the different options that white may try to play against the Winawer Variation.
