Description
GM Mihail Marin continues his French Defence tactical series with a second volume focused on the structural themes that define the opening's long-term character. Understanding these structures is essential for playing the French with confidence at any level.
What This Course Covers (4+ hours):
- Pawn Chains — the e6-d5-c4 and e5-d4-b2 structures that define French middlegames
- The French Isolani — how to handle the isolated pawn for both sides
- The French Bishop — the eternal problem piece, and the key methods to activate or neutralize it
- 38 games presented with more than 100 questions to solve
- Symmetrical coverage — White's combinations and Black's defences both examined
A Fritz Trainer video course — more than 4 hours of structural and tactical instruction for French Defence players. See also Volume 1 for h7/g7/f7 tactics, the f4-f5 pawn break, and g7-g5 counterplay.
