Opening Repertoire: The French Defence Paperback / softback
by Cyrus Lakdawala
Paperback / softback
Description
The French Defence provides a good choice for players who want to create a dynamic, unbalanced situation out of the opening but baulk at the level of study required to master the ferociously complex Sicilian Defence.
The French is one of Black's soundest defences to 1 e4 and is very popular at all levels.
White often advances with the space-gaining e4-e5 which, in principle, will generate a small advantage.
However, when this structure arises there are no clear points to attack in the black camp and Black has ready-made plans in the form of ...c7-c5 and ...f7-f6, moves that seek to undermine the white centre. ----- In this book, renowned author Cyrus Lakdawala creates a repertoire for Black and navigates through the main lines of the French, providing the reader with well-researched, fresh and innovative analysis.
Each annotated game has valuable lessons on how to play the opening, and contains instructive commentary on typical middle-game plans.
Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. ----- * Presents a complete French Defence repertoire for Black. --- * Thorough explanations of typical pawn structures and piece manoeuvres. --- * Utilizes an ideal approach to chess study.
