Today we are studying what French protection is.The French defense is a semi—open opening, starting with moves 1. e2-e4 e7-e6. The debut got its name in honor of the chess players of France, where it gained popularity at the beginning of the XIX century. One of the main ideas of the French defense is the cardinal cover of the most vulnerable point &amp;quot;f7&amp;quot;. Black's strategy is based on the idea of shifting the balance in the center literally on the first moves, which determines the complex nature of the further course of the game in this opening. The French defense was one of the favorite defensive weapons in the hands of world champions M. Botvinnik and T. Petrosyan.</content><media:thumbnail url="https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=webp&amp;h=550&amp;op=thumbnail&amp;path=bannikov_vladimir:ublog:JyHOu4za:6xcuZCoG.jpg&amp;w=880&amp;sig=962deb2431497140f865d6b4bec7c6cc5073ee5c"></media:thumbnail><author><name>Bannikov_Vladimir</name></author></entry><entry><id>https://lichess.org/@/Bannikov_Vladimir/blog/caro-kahn/7qtGWtlt</id><published>2024-03-25T17:27:10.445Z</published><updated>2024-03-25T17:27:10.445Z</updated><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://lichess.org/@/Bannikov_Vladimir/blog/caro-kahn/7qtGWtlt" /><title>Caro-Kahn</title><category term="Analysis" label="Analysis" scheme="https://lichess.org/blog/topic/Analysis"></category><category term="Chess" label="Chess" scheme="https://lichess.org/blog/topic/Chess"></category><content type="html">&lt;img class=&quot;ublog-post-image&quot; width=&quot;880&quot; height=&quot;550&quot; src=&quot;https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=webp&amp;amp;h=550&amp;amp;op=thumbnail&amp;amp;path=bannikov_vladimir:ublog:7qtGWtlt:ZaIgnNrb.jpg&amp;amp;w=880&amp;amp;sig=8077425af4e0675b6332cdf95588123cd1f67d35&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello everyone!!! Today we are studying Caro-Kann. So let's start.The Caro-Kahn defense is one of the most popular openings in chess. Black responds to move e4 c6 in order to move d5 on the next move by attacking White's central pawn on e4. There are many options for the development of Caro-Canna protection, but the main one continues as follows: d4 d5 Ks3 d:e4 K:e5 Cf5. The Caro-Kahn defense is not a very flashy and not very aggressive opening, but it is a very reliable defense that can give Black an advantage towards the end of the game. This opening is named after the English chess player Horatio Caro and the Austrian chess player Marcus Kahn, who analyzed the opening in 1886. Kann won in 17 moves using this defense in a game against the German-British chess champion Jacques Mises.</content><media:thumbnail url="https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=webp&amp;h=550&amp;op=thumbnail&amp;path=bannikov_vladimir:ublog:7qtGWtlt:ZaIgnNrb.jpg&amp;w=880&amp;sig=8077425af4e0675b6332cdf95588123cd1f67d35"></media:thumbnail><author><name>Bannikov_Vladimir</name></author></entry><entry><id>https://lichess.org/@/Bannikov_Vladimir/blog/the-spanish-party/RhZ1DJay</id><published>2023-07-22T11:15:38.237Z</published><updated>2023-07-22T11:15:38.237Z</updated><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://lichess.org/@/Bannikov_Vladimir/blog/the-spanish-party/RhZ1DJay" /><title>The Spanish Party</title><category term="Chess" label="Chess" scheme="https://lichess.org/blog/topic/Chess"></category><category term="Analysis" label="Analysis" scheme="https://lichess.org/blog/topic/Analysis"></category><content type="html">&lt;img class=&quot;ublog-post-image&quot; width=&quot;880&quot; height=&quot;550&quot; src=&quot;https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=webp&amp;amp;h=550&amp;amp;op=thumbnail&amp;amp;path=bannikov_vladimir:ublog:RhZ1DJay:Lma6F0Yg.jpg&amp;amp;w=880&amp;amp;sig=c9a664ae11d7e4078d1cf8cd7f073cf9ca260d67&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello everyone.Today we are studying what the Spanish Party is</content><media:thumbnail url="https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=webp&amp;h=550&amp;op=thumbnail&amp;path=bannikov_vladimir:ublog:RhZ1DJay:Lma6F0Yg.jpg&amp;w=880&amp;sig=c9a664ae11d7e4078d1cf8cd7f073cf9ca260d67"></media:thumbnail><author><name>Bannikov_Vladimir</name></author></entry><entry><id>https://lichess.org/@/Bannikov_Vladimir/blog/sicilian-protection/5659kxaR</id><published>2023-07-21T18:17:25.398Z</published><updated>2023-07-21T18:17:25.398Z</updated><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://lichess.org/@/Bannikov_Vladimir/blog/sicilian-protection/5659kxaR" /><title>Sicilian protection</title><category term="Analysis" label="Analysis" scheme="https://lichess.org/blog/topic/Analysis"></category><content type="html">&lt;img class=&quot;ublog-post-image&quot; width=&quot;880&quot; height=&quot;550&quot; src=&quot;https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=webp&amp;amp;h=550&amp;amp;op=thumbnail&amp;amp;path=bannikov_vladimir:ublog:5659kxaR:EsDXD5ef.jpg&amp;amp;w=880&amp;amp;sig=792e5583955325855b83c96c926299575666cea2&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello everyone, today we are studying what Sicilian protection is.</content><media:thumbnail url="https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=webp&amp;h=550&amp;op=thumbnail&amp;path=bannikov_vladimir:ublog:5659kxaR:EsDXD5ef.jpg&amp;w=880&amp;sig=792e5583955325855b83c96c926299575666cea2"></media:thumbnail><author><name>Bannikov_Vladimir</name></author></entry></feed>
