The Advance Variation is a popular and direct way of meeting the
ultra-solid French Defence. Very early on in the game White opts to
fix the pawn structure and establishes a genuine space advantage,
upon which he later hopes to mount a serious attack. This method of
playing against the French Defence has become a firm FAVORITE
amongst uncompromising Grandmasters such as Alexei Shirov,
England's Nigel Short and the rising star in Russia, Alexander
Grischuk.
In this book openings expert Sam Collins explains the strategy and
tactics of this dynamic opening, studying both the main lines as
well as the more offbeat variations. Through the use of model games
for both White and Black, he provides a thorough grounding in the
key plans and ideas, so that readers can quickly and confidently
begin to use the French Advance in their own games.
