Frustrated by the French Defense...no more:
Battle-hardened expert shows you how to get a pleasant game and a practical advantage after 1.e4 e6...without drowning in theory!
For the busy 1.e4 player,
If you'd love to take Black out of his comfort zone...maximize your winning chances...and get sound positions you'd LOVE to play against 1...e6 (while keeping your training load light)...then this repertoire by ChessForLife (2100 FIDE) is tailored just for you.
The Sicilian Defense (1...c5) and the Open Games (1...e5) already take up the majority of your opening preparation.
Against the less popular but equally dangerous French Defense, adopting a well-grounded but low-maintenance sideline that packs a punch makes perfect sense.
And the 3.Bd3 variation fits the bill!
Tackle The French with 3.Bd3
Here's the problem with the French Defense:
In the main lines, Black will almost always get the French structure, with pawns on c5, d5, and e6. Meaning Black will always get counter-play against your pawn center, especially d4.
After 3.Bd3, however, you neutralize much of that counter-play.
Matter of fact, you might just win the game in less than 20 moves if Black mistimes the typical ...c7-c5 break! (Check out chapter 4 for more details.)
But that's not all.
Here are more reasons to tackle the French defense with 3.Bd3:
⚔️ With only 86 essential variations to study, you can learn the entire repertoire in just two weeks...even if you only spend 30 minutes/day.
⚔️ All of Black's main tries covered in six theory chapters. So you can play with confidence, and come out on top against 3…Nc6, 3…Nf6, 3…c5 and the most testing 3…dxe4.
⚔️ Every move underwent in-depth engine analysis with Lc0 and Stockfish to maximize your chances for an advantage.
⚔️ GM-approved and battle-tested. Magnus Carlsen, Maxime-Vachier Lagrave, and Vladimir Onischuk play 3.Bd3 against the French...and with excellent results. Rest assured you can play this at any level of competition!
⚔️ Over 20k words of clear instruction and tons of visual aids explain the ideas behind the moves and the essential plans. So you can always find your way, even if the game strays away from theory.
⚔️ 10 annotated model games that showcase middlegame strategies in action. Check out how Kramnik got an overwhelming position against Caruana in just 12 moves. And you might just do the same in your next game!
⚔️ 16 thematic puzzles drill the opening's important tactical motifs into your memory. So you can land those knockout combos when the opportunity arises.
⚔️ Repertoire clashes against major French Defense repertoires. The author also pits the opening against the analysis of leading 1.e4 e6 authors and players, including:
· Lifetime Repertoires: French Defense by GM Anish Giri
. GM Repertoire - The French Defense by GM Emanuel Berg
· Master the French Defense by GM Alex Lenderman and NM Bryan Tillis
· Play the French - Chess24 video series by GM Romain Edouard
