The French Defence hits the sweet spot between soundness and practicality, and remains one of Black's most popular defences at all levels. Win with the French! offers a complete, robust repertoire for Black after 1.e4 e6. Elite theoretician and author Vassilios Kotronias presents a two-pronged approach in the most critical main lines, with a theoretically bulletproof, professional-grade option accompanied by a sound yet combative choice to generate winning chances with less memorization. This versatile approach, combined with thoughtful advice about typical themes and pawn structures, makes Win with the French! the ideal guide to this classic chess opening. Grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias is a ten-time Greek Champion with a peak ranking of 44th in the world, as well as a renowned theoretician and 1.e4 player. After spending many decades trying unsuccessfully to break the French Defence, he is ready to share his extensive insights on why it's a great opening to play with Black.
