9.Nbd2!? in the C02 French Defense
Milan Bjelajac
International master Misha Pap achieved a very nice win against GM Dragan Kosic
at the International Open tournament in Bosnjaci. Aside from the great aesthetic
quality of the game, it also contained a very important theoretical novelty.
IM Pap played a variation of the French Defense (C02) that sacrifices the
d4-pawn and after the tactical continuation 9.Nbd2!? he introduced the novelty
15.Ne5!?, which is an improvement on 15.Re1 as played in Ji. Nun – Schimttdiel,
Prague 1990.
Because the theory of 9.Nbd2!? is still developing, and the strong interest
shown among French Defense practitioners, we present this theoretical survey to
give a complete history on the status of this continuation.
