Is there much difference between the books:
- French Defence (Steinit, Classical, and other systems)
- French Defence (3Nc3)
I own the first one and the entire book is on 3Nc3 systems exclusively, but
without any coverage of the Winawer, so i'm wondering if the later book is
entirely on the Winawer or is there some overlap with the first book.
Regards, Dave

LOL. If posting to Google from an email address that no longer works
all the sudden labels me as a man with no "standards," well, mister, I
guess that's just the way it is. You can believe that I won't lose any
sleep over what anyone thinks of me on RGC*.

If someone wants to get ahold of me, they only need post here and I
will respond to them from my valid email address.
You'll forgive me if I don't consider Usenet "rules" to hold much
water, what with all the impostors, Ray Gordons, Jason Repas, Sam
Sloans, and anonymous remailers posting here.
"Usenet responsibility" is oxymoronic, Ken.

I've been posting here for years and have *always* signed my own name.
The fact that I don't use that ISP anymore and the emails bounce is

USENET standards require a valid e-mail address.
The fact that this standard is not uniformly ENFORCED does
not remove the responsibility of the poster to supply one.

For you computer newsgroup guru's out there, don't ask questions you
can look up yourself, especially at that obscure online bookstore...ya
know...amazon?
French Defence (3Nc3) by Psakhis 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." ]
<b >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). </b >
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. :)"

Hypocrite. Don't slam people for knocking a book they haven't read
when you haven't WRITTEN it. The commentary is more about your ability
to actually finish the work itself since you have so many irons in the
fire between Usenet and vexatious litigation. Translation: the book
will never materialize beyond your feeble mind.

So, exactly like ECO except only the variations that YOU -- Gordon Roy

Original, too.
I can just see the title of your book now: "How to Get to 1550 Online
with the French." Coming to a Barnes & Noble near you!
Brilliant.
Do let us know how many copies you "sell," Gordy. If you can find the
time to actually write the book between your currnet barratry and
Usenet banality, that is.

99.79% chance the book will never be written. But in the off chance it
actually is written in Gordo's off time between filing numerous
frivilous lawsuits and thousands of incoherent Usenet postings, there's
a 99.89% chance it won't get published. And in the off chance it's
actually published, theres a 99.99% chance it won't be read by anybody
but the author.
Poor Gordy -- he wastes all kinds of his and his mom's money trying to
get some attention and undeserved respect and he fails 99.999% of the
time.
Somebody give that poor bastard some change for his cup. Don't be

It can't be much of a book if you're trying to cover all variations of the
French in a single volume. Are you going to give it one of those hokey
soltis/reinfeld type titles like......"winning with 1...e6"?

If you read my website, I recommend against any books with titles like that.
My book is going to contain my entire repertoire, as much as can be
contained in print. Since I play 1. e4 as White, and the French against 1.
e4, I will be covering that opening from both sides.
My book will be like a copy of ECO that contains only those variations I
play. I'm already past 80 pages (ECO style pages), and the final product
will be closer to 300.
Most every variation is being double-checked by my electronic co-author.

You would need 3000 pages just to scratch the surface of all variations of
the french defence. I don't think you understand anything about this opening
at all. Your "book", if indeed it ever gets finished, probably would find
it's best use when someone is out of toilet paper.

I said PRACTICAL variations!
Besides, a good opening book focuses on formations first, which cuts down
the memorization of variations a great deal, and makes it diffiuclt to be
taken out of one's book, since one always has a formation to aim for.
