Which French Chess Player Do You Consider The Best And Why?
Hallo
Alekhine because of his innovative ideas and aggressive presence and play over the board.
Bordonnais, Amant, Philidor, Benko, Lagrave, Bacrot, Fressinet, and Firouzja are my honorable mentions.
Well if we count people who like came to France like Alekhine, Spassky, etc it's easily Alekhine hands down. If it's just French-born I'd say Vachier Lagrave.
