Overview
French Defense: Advance Variation, Extended Bishop Swap is a specific line in the Open Games family (ECO C02), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

It is reached after 6 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 Bd7.
The line refines French Defense: Advance Variation, which traces back to the root opening French Defense.
