{"product_id":"9781941270059","title":"French Defense: The Solid Rubinstein Variation","description":"A Complete Black Repertoire against 1.e4 \u003cbr\u003eBuilt around the Super-Solid Rubinstein!\u003cp\u003eThe solid Rubinstein Variation of the French Defense – despite its having been played by world champions and elite grandmasters, it has never been subjected to detailed study. The author, German International Master Hannes Langrock, has produced a book with complete coverage of this line, along with solid recommendations for Black should White deviate on the second or third move.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I never realized that Black could take such active measures in the Rubinstein Variation without significant drawbacks. This book is an eye-opener, and even top grandmasters might find that they have underestimated Black’s resources in important positions…The average tournament and online player will appreciate Langrock’s straightforward, no-nonsense style. He keeps the complexity of the analysis within bounds, and highlights relevant details without drifting into obscure page-long analytical byways. General themes are clearly presented within the context of illustrative games…The result is a book that covers a broad swath of material in a modest number of pages. I’m sure that you will be well-rewarded for its study, and come out with a useful new weapon in your chess arsenal.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom International Master John Watson's Foreword\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russell Enterprises, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056753393904,"sku":"9781941270059","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941270059_p0.jpg?v=1763755577","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941270059","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
