What the. I don't want to join since uni is busy, but whyyyyy the french?! Really??? Usually, a democratic system with a lot of opinions, means it's hard to do anything unconventional. Quite curious about why such a large proportion of the black team went for the French. As people pointed out, Caro or Sicilian are much more sound choices. But hey, at least we are making this interesting from the get go :D

Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

ehh, in the CK the bishop might come out but theory has dictated that white can either get a reasonable space advantage off the bat with 3.Nc3 or can attempt to steamroll black with the aggressive advanced variation, strange as it seems, the bishop being stuck in the French ensures a very long battle if there is a d4-e5 chain (even if not necessarily an equal/advantageous one for black).

Sign me up.
