{"product_id":"the-french-byron-jacobs-9781857442298","title":"The French","description":"The French is one of Black's soundest defences to 1 e4 and is very popular at all levels of chess. Club players enjoy its super-solid structure, while at the top it's played by famous grandmasters such as Vishy Anand and the young Russian star Alexander Morozevich. With his first two moves Black obtains a substantial foothold in the centre, and a structure that is incredibly difficult to break down. In this user-friendly book, International Master Byron Jacobs revisits the basic principles behind the French Defence and all of its variations. Throughout the reader is helped along by a wealth of notes, tips, warnings and exercises. This book is ideal for the improving player.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Byron Jacobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857442296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857442298\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 09\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.86w x 0.57d","brand":"Byron Jacobs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074040754431,"sku":"9781857442298","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8baebfdd-1d91-40e3-8a86-5d38ac069faf.jpg?v=1685451424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-french-byron-jacobs-9781857442298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
