Item description from seller

271 Pages. There is an 800 number on the half title page and there are three inked-lines of the previous owner's name and address. No other marks. Interior text pages are bright, tight, and white. The French defence is an excellent choice of opening for club and tournament players, leading to exciting tactical play with black aggressively trying to undermine the white pawn centre. At Grandmaster level, the defence is a favourite of such players as Victor Korchnoi, Jan Timman and Nigel Short. In this book the author concentrates on explaining the plans for both sides, using complete illustrative games to demonstrate the key concepts.
