Summary: Another Jacobs' classic
Review: He probably hasn't received the acclaim he deserves, but this intermediate player (1600 on ICC) thinks Byron Jacobs' opening works are among the finest on the market. He is a great writer, and has that magical combination of text and variations that sucks you in and really teaches you an opening. This book on the French Classical is one of his best. This opening is very popular and you will be able to use it in a lot ofyour games. The definitive source. Highly recommended.
