In this video, IM Andrey Ostrovskiy continues the series on the French Defense with the Exchange Variation. If white captures on d5 after 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 with 3.exd5, we enter the Exchange Variation. After the exchange of the e5 pawns, we have a symmetrical position on the board, where white reached a simplified position. Afterwards, black is aiming to develop his pieces to start an attack. A special variation that arises out of the Exchange Variation is the so-called Monte Carlo Variation that will also be covered in this video.

8:34 Monte Carlo Variation
