Martin - Play the French with 3 ... dxe4

The variation of the French that starts 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 (or 3 Nd2) 3 ... dxe4 is often called the Rubinstein Variation. It is a great way to simplify the position and ensure that the middlegame battle rewards strategic understanding rather than rote memorisation of opening moves. It is also a very useful weapon to defuse the attacking intentions of aggressive White players who plan an all-out assault in the main lines of the French Defence. 367 pages

Jacimovic/Zlatanovic - The French Defense revisited. A practical guide for black

For almost two centuries the French Defense has been a universally popular opening. Many
authorities have made their contribution to establishing the theory. Thanks to
their efforts, players nowadays can easily make a choice between the many and various
options, whether peaceful or sharp, whether statically or dynamically
orientated. Just as importantly, if not more so, fans of the French worldwide
can today find good options to play both for a win and a draw! All this makes
the French Defense very popular. However, the authors think that many lines
have not been well explained or should be revisited. Some other lines deserve a better reputation. Finally we have also suggested some new approaches. Simply speaking,

the French Defense looks to be inexhaustible and there cannot be enough books

dedicated to it. This book takes a step in the direction of revitalizing our favorite
opening!

The authors have decided to set the book in order from the less to the more popular and complex lines. In the case of the most popular moves 3. e5,

3. Nd2 and
3. Nc3

YEVSEEV - Fighting the French A New Concept

Annonçons tout de suite la couleur : le nouveau concept, c'est de la Tarrasch (3.Cd2) avec Fd3 et c3 - ce qui revient à accepter un pion-dame isolé. Ceux qui sont allergiques à cette idée peuvent donc sans remords passer leur chemin. En revanche, ceux qui en ont assez de la classique structure d4-e5 pourront se plonger avec profit dans ce petit pavé Chess Stars, comme toujours complet et très sérieux.

LAKDAWALA - The Slav Move By Move

Premier titre d'une nouvelle série Everyman, opportunément consacré à une ouverture bizarrement négligée par les éditeurs: rien de consistant n'était sorti sur la 'vraie' Slave (i.e. avec 4...dxc4) depuis le Burgess paru chez Gambit, il y a bien 10 ans... comme toujours chez l'éditeur, la formule est très 'user-friendly', avec des parties complètes, des explications détaillées, un système de questions-réponses et même des petits exercices. Idéal pour le joueur moyen, mais les costauds pourront aussi en tirer du profit.
