The French Defence. A Complete Tactical Guide for Black. Two Volumes.

The French Defence has a marked strategic character — but it's also rich in tactical possibilities for both sides. GM Mihail Marin delivers a two-volume tactical guide that teaches Black the most typical combinations in French structures, while also showing the dangers White can create — so you're never caught off guard.

Volume 1 — Attacking Tactics (4h 50min):

  • Tactics involving the h7, g7, and f7 pawns
  • The pawn break f4-f5 — when to play it and how to meet it
  • The counter-move g7-g5 — Black's kingside counterplay
  • 41 games presented with 100+ questions to solve

Volume 2 — Structural Themes (4h+):

  • Pawn chains: e6-d5-c4 and e5-d4-b2 — the backbone of French strategy
  • The French Isolani — how to handle it for both sides
  • The French Bishop — the eternal problem piece, and how to solve it
  • 38 games presented with 100+ questions to solve
