How to Play Against 1 e4 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

It's not easy finding a good opening to play against 1 e4, especially if you don't have endless time available to study the latest theoretical developments.

If you choose fashionable openings, it's often a necessity to keep pace with modern theory if you want to succeed with Black.

This book provides a solution. Neil McDonald advocates his favourite opening - the very popular French Defence - but chooses a repertoire for Black that requires only the minimum amount of move memorization.

The lines he selects are very easy to learn and play - perfect for those who are unwilling to be slaves to opening theory.

But there's also something here for more experienced players, as McDonald goes on to offer a second repertoire based on counter-attacking lines against 3 Nc3 and 3 Nd2. *An easy-to-learn defence against 1 e4 *Provides solutions to all of White's options *Written by a world-renowned expert on the French *Ideal for improvers, club players and tournament players
