FRENCH DEFENCE
The Barmann Variation
Black plans 2..P-Q4, 3..Kt-KB3 against White's KP before ..P-QB4 to undermine the base of his centre.
White develops his King's Bishop to QKt5(b5) to prevent an immediate 2..P-Q4 and undermine Black's usual Q-side attack. Rare and inferior to the 2.P-Q4 main, but with surprise value. W-Alt.
	White	Black
 1.	P-K4	P-K3
 2.	B-Kt5?!
BLACK to Move or Undo or Jump or Clear
