The French Defence is one of the best choices a player can make for his opening repertoire, especially older players with limited study time. The solid construction of Black's game puts the onus on positional understanding and makes it immune to sharp and tricky variations. The longer you play the French the better you'll play it. On this DVD Nigel Davies explains the strategy behind the French Defence by examining typical pawn structures and explaining the plans and ideas for both sides.
The concepts are illustrated via a series of instructive games allowing the viewer to improve his understanding of this opening whilst watching some entertaining and creative chess being played. After watching this DVD the viewer will understand what to do in typical French Defence middle games and never be at a loss for a plan. It will also make it easier to learn specific variations because these can then be hung on hooks of understanding.
