B5 5.h3 Bf5

a) 6. partie en cours sur UtsYourTurn

"The Complete French" by Psakhis has a little bit of material on it, as does Minev's "French Defense - New and Forgotten Ideas"
Psakhis quotes a game where the strong GM Mikhail Gurevich shows how to handle the Black side:

A1 4.Nc3 Bb4 5.Nf3 b6! (Nf6 intending Ne4 has been played more often here, but Gurevich's idea is superior)

a) 6.Bd3 Nf6 7.Bd2 Bxc3 8.Bxc3 Ba6 10.0-0 Bxd3 11.Qxd3 Nc6 (Malbran-M. Gurevich, Philadelphia, 1989)

Actually, the game quoted reached this position by transposition via this route 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Qd5 5.Nc3 Bb4 etc.
Psakhis evaluates the final position as having "quite good possibilities for Black".

If you are going to play this out of the Exchange, you also need to be ready for 3. ... Qxd5 4.c4.

I believe Black's best is 4. ... Bb4+ 5.Bd2 Bxd2+ 6.Qxd2 Qe4+ (it's no time to get timid - stick to your
guns of causing complications).

If White blocks with 5.Nc3, then double his pawns with 5. ... Bb4+ and then play 6. ... Qe4+.

Here's an example of a game I played with Black a while back:

1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 Qxd5 4.Nc3 Bb4 5.Nf3 b6 6.Bd2 Bxc3 7.Bxc3 Nf6
8.Bb4 Ba6 9.c4?! Bxc4 10.Bxc4 Qxc4 11.Ba3 Qb5 12.Ne5 Nbd7 13.Qf3 Qa5+
14.Kf1 Qd5 and Black has a solid advantage. Black could also go for
the gusto with 13. ... Nxe5!?!? 14.Qxa8+ Kd7 15.Qxh8 Nd3+ and White
is in a minefield of mates, e.g. 16.Ke2? Nf4+ 17.Kf3 Qe2+
18.Kxf4 Qe4+ 19.Kg5 Qg4 mate. Where else besides the Winawer
can you have this much fun in the French?
