The Complete French Advance: The Most Uncompromising Way to Attack the French Defence
The Advance Variation is the most ambitious way to meet the solid
French Defence. Its popularity among club players is not difficult to
understand: by advancing the e-pawn to e5 on the third move, White not
only gains space but also blocks in Black's c8 Bishop and hampers
Black's kingside development by taking away the f6-square.The closed
nature of the positions arising from the Advance Variation leads to
strategic play where positional understanding is much more important
than studying the latest theoretical developments. White can use the
advantage in space by building up an attack against the Black
king.Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov has played the Advance Variation in
countless games with excellent results and is, as former World Champion
Anatoly Karpov puts it, ‘the world expert' in this variation. Together
with his son, International Master Vladimir Sveshnikov, he has
thoroughly updated and expanded his earlier investigations that he
presented in his first book on the French Advance in 2003.The
Sveshnikovs know that when you are teaching new patterns it is much more
productive to use illustrative games than to show stand-alone, concrete
variations. That is why they present many annotated grandmaster games
in which they clearly explain the ideas and plans for both sides. They
also provide exercises and test positions in order to reinforce what has
been learned. After reading and studying this book, White players, from
amateurs to Grandmasters, will make their opponents' lives even more
difficult.

Fit great, good price, and fast shipping for a last minute NYE dinner
Let me start by saying that I had very low expectations, all I truly cared about was getting something “blingy” as fast as possible for a last minute New Years Eve dinner. I was impressed by the speed of arrival, price & floored by the quality. Now of course, this is NOT a tailored $300 jacket, but it was great for our evening. Did not shed any sequins, no problems with wrinkles, and didn’t have any weird smells. My husband said it was comfortable, and he plans to wear it again should the need arise.

Classy but stands out!
I bought this jacket for my teen son for homecoming and it was perfect! It was a great fit and the look was just as pictured. I have purchased several things from this seller for formal events and highly recommend them!

Not what I ordered!
Color: Silver, Size: XX-Large, Color: Silver, Size: XX-Large
I ordered this jacket for my boyfriend for New Years. Not only did it not fit according to the size chart (too small). It was nothing like what was pictured on the listing. The sequins were very light and cheaply sewn on. And the lining and button were WHITE! Not black as pictured. I have never had a problem with anything I ordered from Amazon until now. I returned it and was refunded. But, now have to find a different jacket. NOT HAPPY.
