Description
The French Winawer. Sharp, Dynamic, and Deeply Instructive.
The Winawer Variation is one of the most popular and theoretically rich choices for French Defence players. It offers Black the opportunity to enter sharp, dynamic lines — including the notorious Poisoned Pawn Variation — as well as more strategic, positional battles. Rich in possibilities for both sides, it's an opening that rewards deep study.
FIDE Master Steve Giddins — who has played the French Winawer for over 25 years — guides you through its many variations using the interactive Move by Move format.
The Move by Move Difference:
- Probing questions throughout keep you actively engaged — not just reading
- Carefully selected answers let you monitor your own progress
- Covers the most important lines — including the sharp Poisoned Pawn and strategic alternatives
- Answers all the key questions for both White and Black
- Paperback, 288 pages — Everyman Chess
The French Winawer, fully mastered. 25 years of experience in one book.
