Play the French with 3...dxe4 by Andrew Martin

The variation of the French that starts 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 (or 3 Nd2) 3 . dxe4 is often called the Rubinstein Variation. It is a great way to simplify the position and ensure that the middlegame battle rewards strategic understanding rather than rote memorisation of opening moves. It is also a very useful weapon to defuse the attacking intentions of aggressive White players who plan an all-out assault in the main lines of the French Defence. An important feature of the lines after 3.dxe4 4 Nxe4 is that Black has various different ways to continue. 4 . Nd7 is the most common but 4 . Bd7 (planning . Bc6 - the Fort Knox Variation), 4 . Be7 and 4 . Nf6 are all possible. All these lines are covered in the book. Finally, White can, of course, avoid the 3 . dxe4 variation with (amongst others) the Advance Variation, 3 e5. Martin provides antidotes to all these possible sidelines and so the variations in the book provide a complete repertoire to meet 1 e4.
