Grandmaster Repertoire 14 - La defensa francesa, volumen uno, de Emanuel Berg (tapa blanda)

This Grandmaster Repertoire 14 - The French Defence, Volume One by Emanuel Berg is an English-language paperback chess book that builds a serious repertoire against 1.e4, with a particular focus on the French Defence and the Winawer Variation.

As the first volume in the series, it presents a Black repertoire based on one of the most established replies to 1.e4. The book centres on the main Winawer move order and gives readers a clear starting point for opening study and repertoire preparation.

What this volume covers

Grandmaster Repertoire 14 - The French Defence, Volume One focuses on the position after 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4. Emanuel Berg presents recommendations against the main White continuations and builds the repertoire from Black’s side with the Winawer Variation at its core.

The critical 7.Qg4 line is reserved for volume two. Volume three is intended to cover the Tarrasch Variation, the Advance Variation and other White options, so this book forms part of a larger, connected treatment of the French Defence.
