Club players enjoy its super-solid structure, while at the top it's played by famous grandmasters such as Vishy Anand and the young Russian star Alexander Morozevich. With his first two moves Black obtains a substantial foothold in the centre, and a structure that is incredibly difficult to break down. In this user-friendly book, International Master Byron Jacobs revisits the basic principles behind the French Defence and all of its variations. Throughout the reader is helped along by a wealth of notes, tips, warnings and exercises. This book is ideal for the improving player.","brand":"Everyman Chess","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156284424432,"sku":"2940148617693","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148617693_p0.jpg?v=1763705755","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148617693","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
