Summary: Actually titled "French Defense 3Nc4 Bb4"
Review: CAREFUL!!! This is a good book, but its content in NOT what is described in the publisher blurb above. When mine arrived, I was shocked to find that the cover had the additional graphic of "Bb4" on it. "huh?" I thought. "This can't be right." Only when opening it up to the table of contents did I realize it ONLY deals with the Winawer Variation of the French Defense (3.Nc3 Bb4). While getting Psakhis' insight into the Winawer is well-worth the price of the book, if you were hoping to garner any knowledge he might have of say the Burn Variation or the Classical, you will be VERY upset to have purchased this book. Again, this is a good book, and a must-have for Winawer-players, but NOT the all-encompassing tome any book MUST be to cover all of 3.Nc3 - there is going to be yet another book released in this series that will cover all the 3.Nc3 variations OTHER than the Winawer,...you might want to wait for that one if you're not interested in 3...Bb4. :)
