French Defence Advance Variation
Volume 1: The Basic Course. White Repertoire for Tournament Players
Inhalt
The well-known grandmaster and theoretician Evgeny Sveshnikov has used the Closed Variation (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5) more than 150 times in tournament play with a score of more than 70%. Many theoretically important games have been excluded by the author from ‘official’ chess databases, and here they are exclusively published for the first time.
Volume 1 (Basic Course) contains the following main chapters:
– Historical overview of the Closed Variation;
– Plans for White and Black on the basis of thoroughly annotated games;
– A lesson on the blockade;
– 70 test positions: what would you play?
