French Defence 3 Nc3 - Psakhis

Files under Article | Posted by Cikgu Farizal

In the third volume of his series on the French Defence, Lev Psakhis analyses the Winawer Variation: 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 Bb4. Pioneered in the classic games of Nimzowitsch and Botvinnik, this system is today championed by such leading players as Nigel Short, Alexander Khalifman, Predrag Nikolic, Smbat Lputian, Rafael Vaganian and many more.

A lifelong adherent of this opening, Psakhis maintains that the Winawer is the most complex variation not only in the French Defence but perhaps in the whole of chess opening theory. To do full justice to its strategic and tactical range, he provides a wealth of illustrative games, critically annotated with the most up-to-date theoretical refinements. Whether you are for or against the French, this is the most authoritative and comprehensive guide available today.
