You’ll learn how to:
♝
Stun White with rare lines in the two most popular variations. In both the Tarrasch (3.Nd2) and Classical/Normal (3.Nc3) variations, you’ll play the rare
3…Be7 - a perfect route to undermine the center in classic French fashion and also open possibilities of a
kingside(!) pawn storm♝
Swap off your worst piece for your opponent’s best piece quickly in every variation. Critics of the French often complain about the bad “French bishop”, but they clearly haven’t been introduced properly to the modern French!
♝
Steer the game to a favorable French endgame where you have concrete weaknesses to target and sensible plan in each line
And more! The
clear, idea-based explanations are some of the most beginner and club player-friendly on Chessable, and the moves themselves can be appreciated by beginners and pros alike. If you weren’t familiar with IM Krykun before, you’ll come to understand why he’s one of Chessable’s favorite authors!
