The French Defence: Move by Move

En høyst aktuell Fransk-bok med 57 fine mønsterpartier, som i praksis gir svart ett eller to repertoarvalg mot hovedtrekkene til hvit 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Sc3, 3 Sd2 og 3 e5, men også behandler sidevariantene.

Boka kan også gjerne nytes som bare en systemetisk samling av interessante og severdige partier, som samtidig smugler masse god mønstergjenkjennelse fra den fascinerende åpningen Fransk inn i hodet til leseren.

Forlagets egen omtale:

The French Defence is a classical opening that has featured in the repertoire of many elite grandmasters. Black generally concedes a slight spacial disadvantage early but in return gains a sound structure and middlegame opportunities to undermine the white centre.

A close study of the French Defence can be very rewarding for all players as the structures and themes that arise are found in numerous other openings. In this book grandmaster Damian Lemos guides the reader through the complexities of this dynamic opening and explores all the important variations.

This series provides an ideal platform to study chess openings. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study any chess opening and at the same time improve your general chess skills and knowledge.
