The Modernized French Defense Volume 2 Against The Tarrasch 1st Edition David Miedema by David Miedema 9789492510860, 9492510863 instant download after payment.

The Tarrasch variation of the French Defense is reached after 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2. This is one of the most positional treatments White has available. Using his typical funny and dynamic writing style, David shows that it is possible to play solidly but also remain with the dynamic elements Black has available. He recommends several creative lines, even a bit off the beaten track, but which he has very carefully worked out over the several years of his own practice. Again, Miedema and his love for the French Defense shines through his second volume, the third and final being available at the end of this year.

Review

The Modernized French Defense Volume 1 by David Miedema is a bright cheerful book full of ideas, double exclamation mark novelties and...weak dark squares. There is plenty of interesting material to enjoy. Four Stars! GM Matthew Sadler 4 Stars - 09/2029 NIC Magazine.
