En savoir plus sur le livre

The French Defense (1. e4 e6) gained prominence in the 19th century and has since become a key opening in chess. The author, German Grandmaster Wolfgang Uhlmann, is a renowned expert who has extensively tested and contributed to its theory throughout his career. This work features 76 selected games, primarily his own, showcasing his success with this opening against top opponents. The annotations include theoretical insights that provide readers with solid guidance on handling the French Defense. Rather than offering a comprehensive overview of all systems and lines, the focus is on positional evaluation and planning. This compilation also reflects Uhlmann's journey with his preferred French lines. Now in its 4th updated edition, the book includes five recent games by other French specialists. Uhlmann, born in Dresden in 1935, was the strongest player in the GDR from 1958 to 1989 and participated in 11 chess Olympiads, often at the top board. He was among the world's elite players at his peak and achieved significant success in various national and international tournaments. Additionally, he was active in the German Bundesliga and is recognized for his numerous publications on chess.
