How to Play the French Defence
The French Defence is an ideal opening for the club chess player, the strategic plan of attacking the black centre being common to many lines. The author of this book concentrates on explaining the plans for both sides, with illustrative games throughout, and has thoroughly researched all available material. Typical themes such as black's bad bishop, blocked centre and kingside attacks are regularly highlighted. The author of this book is a former European Junior Champion and is now an International Master.

I am crap at chess. I spent a lot of money on books that I thought would at least make me competitive. Nothing worked. I think these chess books will all sit in a box gathering dust and one day I might get the urge to rejoin the local club and get butchered by 12 year olds so then may have a further look. (Generic review for all half finished chess books I will never finish)
