If you choose fashionable openings, it's often a necessity to keep pace with modern theory if you want to succeed with Black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a solution. Neil McDonald advocates his favourite opening - the very popular French Defence - but chooses a repertoire for Black that requires only the minimum amount of 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*An easy-to-learn defence against 1 e4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Provides solutions to all of White's options\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Written by a world-renowned expert on the French\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Ideal for improvers, club players and tournament players\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil McDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857445864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857445862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloucester Publishers Plc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.52d","brand":"Neil McDonald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984425156863,"sku":"9781857445862","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_badc877c-379b-4379-9331-022e27e64667.jpg?v=1683272239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-to-play-against-1-neil-mcdonald-9781857445862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
