Description of How to Play against 1 e4
How to Play against 1 e4 (published by Everyman Chess and written by Neil McDonald) is a book for any chess player who wants to find a good opening to play against 1 e4. It is an especially good chess book if - like the majority of chess players - you don't have endless time available to study the latest theoretical developments. If you choose fashionable chess openings, it's often a necessity to keep pace with modern theory if you want to succeed with Black.
How to Play against 1 e4 provides a solution. Author Neil McDonald advocates his favorite chess opening - the very popular French Defense - but chooses a repertoire for Black that requires only the minimum amount of chess move memorization. The lines he selects are very easy to learn and play - perfect for those who are unwilling to be slaves to opening theory. But there's also something here for more experienced players, as McDonald goes on to offer a second repertoire based on counter-attacking lines against 3 Nc3 and 3 Nd2.
