The Complete French Advance: The Most Uncompromising Way to Attack the French Defence
The Advance Variation is the most ambitious way to meet the solid
French Defence. Its popularity among club players is not difficult to
understand: by advancing the e-pawn to e5 on the third move, White not
only gains space but also blocks in Black's c8 Bishop and hampers
Black's kingside development by taking away the f6-square.The closed
nature of the positions arising from the Advance Variation leads to
strategic play where positional understanding is much more important
than studying the latest theoretical developments. White can use the
advantage in space by building up an attack against the Black
king.Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov has played the Advance Variation in
countless games with excellent results and is, as former World Champion
Anatoly Karpov puts it, ‘the world expert' in this variation. Together
with his son, International Master Vladimir Sveshnikov, he has
thoroughly updated and expanded his earlier investigations that he
presented in his first book on the French Advance in 2003.The
Sveshnikovs know that when you are teaching new patterns it is much more
productive to use illustrative games than to show stand-alone, concrete
variations. That is why they present many annotated grandmaster games
in which they clearly explain the ideas and plans for both sides. They
also provide exercises and test positions in order to reinforce what has
been learned. After reading and studying this book, White players, from
amateurs to Grandmasters, will make their opponents' lives even more
difficult.

Great book about a Great museum.
Format: Paperback
Great book, I have visited the museum and was only able to finish the first three basement floors... yes it was that intense. The book helps me read up more on my own time at home. I look forward to visiting the museum again, whenever I get lucky and score some tickets on the next lottery time. This book will tide me until then for the next visit to the upper floors this time.
