Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Second Printing. 159 Pages Including Index of Variations and an Index of Games. No marks and interior text and illustration pages are bright, tight, and white. The French Defense remains one of the most popular strategies to use against White King's pawn opening; top class grandmasters such as Korchnoi, Morozevich, Bareev, and Short continue to practice it with success. Grandmaster Lev Psakhis, a former Soviet champion who has written extensively on this gambit, now shows how to counter it. In the second volume of his three-part series on the French Defense, he covers the aggressive 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 e5 tactic, as well as a number of other "Anti-French" lines, including the King's Indian Attack and Exchange variations. A wealth of illustrated games as well as up-to-date theory also provide valuable instruction that will help chess players master these winning techniques.

There is an 800 number on the half title page and there are three inked-lines of the previous owner's name and address. No other marks. Interior text pages are bright, tight, and white. The French defence is an excellent choice of opening for club and tournament players, leading to exciting tactical play with black aggressively trying to undermine the white pawn centre. At Grandmaster level, the defence is a favourite of such players as Victor Korchnoi, Jan Timman and Nigel Short. In this book the author concentrates on explaining the plans for both sides, using complete illustrative games to demonstrate the key concepts.
