by Byron JacobsThe French Classical (1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6) leads to the type of dynamic, unbalanced positions that appeal to grandmaster and club player alike. The likes of Short, Morozevich, Shirov and Korchnoi have shown that Black has every chance of seizing the initiative. This book covers all of the important variations, with emphasis on those the reader is most likely to meet in their own games.
