In the third volume of his series on the French Defence, Lev
Psakhis analyses the Winawer Variation: 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3
Bb4. Pioneered in the classic games of Nimzowitsch and
Botvinnik, this system is today championed by such leading
players as Nigel Short, Alexander Khalifman, Predrag Nikolic,
Slnhat Lputian, Rafael Vaganian and many more.
A lifelong adherent of this opening, Psakhis maintains that the
Winawer is the most complex variation not only in the French
Defence )Sut perhaps in the whole of chess opening theory.
To en.,. 001 justice to its strategic and tactical range, he provides
a wealth of illustrative games, critically annotated with the most
up-to-date theoretical refinements. Whether you are for or agamst
the French, this is the most authoritative and comprehensive
guide available today_
Grandmaster Lev Psakhis is a former Soviet Champion, now
living in IsraeL He acts as trainer to the world's No.1 female
player Judit Polgar. His previous books for Batsford include The
Complete French and The Complete Benoni, as well as the two
