The Winawer variation of the French Defence is one of the most controversial openings in which Black launches a counterattack as early as move three. The strategically complex position that arise require delicate handling, making it the ideal choice for players who want to win with Black. Grandmasters who have played the Winawer's include Alexander Alekhine, Mikhail Botvinnik, Tigran Petrosian and Viktor Korchnoi.
