Demo Introduction To The French Part 1

The Bulletproof French Defense (The Libiszewski Method)

The French Defense has been a favorite of many of the world’s top players, including former World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik and the legendary Viktor Korchnoi.

In the modern day, Wesley So, Ding Liren and Alexander Morozevich all rely on the French as one of their major opening weapons.

You will learn grandmaster strategies that will turn your initial cramped position into total domination of the board, plus discover sneak ways to lure your rivals into tempting but deadly traps that give you quick wins.

Mastering the French Defense works perfectly as both a complete training course and as an invaluable reference guide. And who better to learn the French Defense from than a French GM!
