Description
The French Defence has a marked strategic character — but it's also rich in tactical possibilities for both sides. GM Mihail Marin delivers a tactical guide specifically for French Defence players, featuring the most typical combinations that arise in French structures.
You'll also be invited to find combinations delivered by White — so you're never caught off guard by the dangers your opponent can create.
