Viktor Moskalenko’s bestselling books
The Flexible French (2008) and The Even More Flexible French (2015) were hailed
by reviewers from all over the world as eye-opening, full of new ideas, easy to
read, sparkling, and inspirational.
Time has not stood still, and the
popular French Defence has seen a lot of new developments, not in the last
place thanks to Moskalenko’s books. The Ukrainian grandmaster himself has kept
playing and researching his beloved chess opening and decided to write a new
book with countless improvements, alternatives, new ideas and fresh weapons
that will delight and surprise the reader.
As always, Moskalenko’s analysis is
high-level, yet his touch is light and fresh. In his own inimitable style, he
whets the reader’s appetite and shares his love for the French with gusto. The
wealth of original and dynamic options in every main line proves that the
French continues to be a highly intriguing defence that is very much alive.
The Fully-Fledged French is a typical
Moskalenko book: practical, accessible, original, entertaining and inspiring.
Viktor Moskalenko (1960) is an International Grandmaster and a
