{"product_id":"how-to-play-against-1-e4-mcdonald","title":"How to Play Against 1 e4 - McDonald","description":"It's not easy finding a good opening to play against 1 e4, especially if you don't have endless time available to study the latest theoretical developments. If you choose fashionable openings, it's often a necessity to keep pace with modern theory if you want to succeed with Black.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a solution. Neil McDonald advocates his favorite opening - the very popular French Defense - but chooses a repertoire for Black that requires only the minimum amount of move memorization. The lines he selects are very easy to learn and play - perfect for those who are unwilling to be slaves to opening theory. But there's also something here for more experienced players, as McDonald goes on to offer a second repertoire based on counter-attacking lines against 3 Nc3 and 3 Nd2.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e English Grandmaster Neil McDonald is an experienced and successful player on the international chess circuit.
