My French Volume 2

The French Defense is considered a solid (but not harmless!) opening against 1.e4 at every level - from club players to grandmasters. But how does Black find his way through the jungle of variations? What are the ideas and plans in the main variations, and how do you take the edge off unusual lines? Chess trainer IM Steve Berger, who has been an enthusiastic French user for years, answers all of these questions on his two-volume repertoire DVD "My French". Using current games from the world's top players, his own playing experience, and French classics, the author explains the recurring motifs and ideas that every "French fox" needs to know. And he not only shows how Black fends off White's attempted attacks, but also, of course, when the right time has come for him to launch a successful counterattack!
