EMPIRE CHESS - Advancing Against the French - GM Jesse Kraai

GM Jesse Kraai has produced one of the very best openings courses we’ve seen. If you have ever struggled against the French Defense (and most of us have) then this is essential viewing. Instead of loading you up with a million “if Black plays this, you play this” lines, Jesse explains the strategic ideas in the French Defense Advance Variation (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.e5). And this transcends the opening… Jesse explains how to play with a space advantage, how to break down fortresses, and how to deal with attempts to break down your center.
