After the success of Jobava's French Defense – Play the Fort Knox, GM Baadur Jobava and GM Pier Luigi Basso are back with the highly anticipated Part 2 of their French Defense repertoire for Black.
🎯 This course targets all the key systems White can play apart from 3.Nc3 and 3.Nd2 — especially the Advance Variation (3.e5) and important sidelines like: 🔹 The Exchange Variation (3.exd5) 🔹 King’s Indian Attack (2.d3) 🔹 Early deviations like 3.Bd3, 2.Qe2, and the Two Knights
Instead of going for dry equality, the authors propose a fresh, practical, and fighting repertoire. You’ll learn how to play for three results, even in positions where most players aim to just survive!
💡 Highlights include modern directions inspired by elite games from players like Abdusattorov, Berkes, and Sindarov. As always, Jobava adds his creative twist with plans like ...Nh6-g4, ...Qb6, and queenside counterplay.
