Surprise your opponents with a 104 pages complete 1.e4 White repertoire for amateurs club players, based on the principle that we don't really mind playing equal positions or even slightly inferiors (say evaluation -0,21 or -0,31) as long as our opponents concede permanent weaknesses, because after all, it's the position that matters in games between amateurs chess players. Getting such a position right out of the opening serves excellently as a compass: You will never lose your way in the middle game as there is always at least one clear plan at your disposal: target the permanent weaknesses!

The Taimanov-Korchnoi Attack is an out of fashion old line in which the Black King very often lacks a pawn shield, whilst the typical blocked King's Indian Defence centre is not blocked at all! Those two factors significantly increase the accuracy level required by Black in these types of positions and make White's play much easier.

The French Defence (1.e4 e6) is an old strategic opening regarded as a counter-attacking opening, played by those players who want to play for a win with the Black pieces. Black avoids the symmetry from the very first move and allows White to grab space in the center claiming that he will be able to undermine that center later in the game.

In this book you will find the simplest yet quite effective way of playing the French Defence. It contains variations based on the solid central pawn chain f7-e6-d5 and the quick exchange of the “bad” light-square bishop. Therefore you don't have to memorise long complicated variations and I'm pretty sure you will love the French Defence.
