The Fierce McCutcheon - 2 DVDs - Chess Lecture - Volume 147

The MacCutcheon Variation is one of the sharpest and most exciting variations in the French. In this variation, the second player ignores White's threat of e4-e5 and instead plays 4... Bb4. The main line continues: 5. e5 h6 6. Bd2 Bxc3 7. bxc3 Ne4 8. Qg4. At this point Black may play 8...g6, which weakens the kingside dark squares but keeps the option of castling queenside, or 8...Kf8.

The main line continues: 5. e5 h6 6. Bd2 Bxc3 7. bxc3 Ne4 8. Qg4. At this point Black may play 8...g6, which weakens the kingside dark squares but keeps the option of castling queenside, or 8...Kf8. The MacCutcheon Variation is named for John Lindsay MacCutcheon of Philadelphia (1857–1905), who brought the variation to public attention when he used it to defeat the World Champion Wilhelm Steinitz in a simultaneous exhibition in Manhattan, New York in held in 1885.
