Foxy DVD Series – Vol 154
Classical French with 3…Nf6 is a reliable system for Black, both dynamic and solid in equal measure. As of 2013, it is fast superseding the Winawer as the most popular method for Black against 3.Nc3. On this all-new Foxy Openings DVD, FIDE Senior Trainer Andrew Martin presents an easy repertoire for Black, which will help you to play this variation with confidence. Most of the names given here are from 2012/2013, but there are several classical earlier examples too, which gives balance to the material.
In summary, the French are both a dynamic and solid opening repertoire for Black. IM Andrew Martin presents the material in a simple and easy to learn format.
