I'm looking for openings/lines where black can play f6. It doesn't have to be the best move but it shouldn't be a bad move
French Defense. In the French Defense, c5 and f6 are the key strategic breaks for Black.
Alex.... I'll take opening that loose for 1000
Hit 'em with the reverse Hammerschlag!
There are some positions where you can plan to 0-0-0 & Then play f6 g5 h5 ... Also f6 crops up in some positions to kick a knight from e5 & "sometimes" to prepare e5 OR let's say against 1b3 e5 2 Bb2 f6 is a Main Line @beautiful_berries . Exceptions are the rule when it comes to playing f6 though maybe you can get a reversed Saemich against a King's Indian Attack it would have to be looked at'
Why not to play f6 right away? Fried Fox Defense is an opening.
In the Ruy Lopez exchange var.
One of the best Black's third moves in this line of the Réti opening:
1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 d4 3. b4
1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 d4 3. b4
Nimzovich opening, a mainline is 1 e4 Nc6 2 d4 d5 3 e5 f6. And there are those Modern setups where Black plays g6, Nh6, f6.
If we're talking semi-respectable opening variations, it's hard to find f6 as early as move 2 like this line in the Orangutan:
1 b4 e5 2 Bb2 f6
1 b4 e5 2 Bb2 f6
