A Classical Guide to the French Defence

Autor: Pelletier, Yannick
Verlag: ChessBase
Erscheinungsjahr: 2018
Sprache: English

The French Defense is one of the sharpest setups against 1.e4. With the first two moves, e6 and d5, Black tries to provoke White's advance e4-e5. This closes the center and gives Black the opportunity to get active play on both wings.

GM Yannick Pelletier is a specialist in this opening and firmly believes that the most efficient way to understand the opening and its ideas, plans and typical structures is to study classical variations. He offers a repertoire based on classical variations that have been played for decades and have proven their validity.
