A Complete Guide to Playing 3 Nc3 Against the French Defence

To solide Fransk-bøker prisgunstig slått sammen til én. IM Byron Jacobs sin bok handler om Klassisk fransk 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Sc3 Sf6, mens GM Neil McDonald behandler Winawer-Fransk med 3... Lb4. Alt gjennom komplette mønsterpartier.

Dette er to ryddige og behagelige bøker med forklaringer som egner seg både for hvit- og svartspillere. Men bøkene er opprinnelig utgitt tidlig på 2000-tallet, så de dekker ikke teoretisk utvikling som har skjedd i noen av variantene etter cirka 2001.

Forlagets egen omtale:

A complete guide to playing 3 Nc3 against the French Defence Two great books from the Everyman Chess Library, French Classical by Byron Jacobs and French Winawer by Neil McDonald, brought together in one volume.

In French Classical International Master Byron Jacobs offers a fresh look at the Classical variation of the French Defence, which has been popular for nearly a century and is championed by such fighting players as Victor Korchnoi and Alexander Morozevich. All of the important variations are considered in detail with particular emphasis on those which are most fashionable.

A modern look at the highly fashionable French Winawer, which remains the sharpest variation of the French Defence. It leads to the kind of dynamic positions in which the better prepared and more aggressive player will invariably prevail. Leading expert Neil McDonald explains the strategy and tactics of this exciting opening in a clear and concise manner.
