Description
French defence has been in the spotlight again in recent years. Constantly chess players of all levels are adding it to their repertoire. Among them several top grandmasters. Ian Nepomniachtchi has tried it several times with great success. Fabiano Caruana has also chosen it in several of his games. But also world champion Magnus Carlsen has used it on several occasions!
The author Dmitry Kryakvin within the book presents us with fresh ideas and positions different from the usual ones. He presents and analyses variations and patterns which help the reader to fully understand the French defence. Combined with The Modern French Volume 1 the reader will gain a complete repertoire in French defense!
