What is a good way to play against someone who likes the French, hates
the Sicilian loves to hold onto his black square bishop.!? I've tried to
take out his favored bishop but usually lose more than I should in material.
I'm fairly good. Been learning my openings but tend to hit a brain
freeze in the late opening to midgame.

Your brain freeze and losing more material than need be to take out the dark
squared Bishop are caused by the same thing; you are playing by memorization
rather than chessic principles. The principles guide the play. Is the Bishop
more powerful than your counterpart pieces? Can you change the position
without taking his Bishop? Can you close the position? If you are striving
for a closed position to limit his mobility try 2.c3

Depending on your grade, learn the wing gambit, super against the french and
sicilian for players under 1600.

Please elaborate on the Wing Gambit. I've not heard of it so perhaps some
direction as to printed material. Thanks- I.N.O

The wing gambit in either the Siclian or the French is characterized
by an early b4 in an attempt to lure a black pawn at c5 from
abandoning it's influence on the center in order to win a pawn on the
flank.
In the Sicilian white plays an early b4 and a3 (usually on the 2nd and
3rd moves); White trades his b- and a-pawns for Black's c-pawn and
White has some compensation in more control of the center (pawns at d4
and e4) and open lines (a- and b-files, plus often a the dark-square
bishop has the a3-f8 or the a1 h8 diagonal. With best play White may
not have enough compensation for the pawn deficit, but the game is
defeiniately steered away from traditional Sicilian structures.
These are the books I could find by searching the net:
"Das Sizilianische Fl�gelgambit" by Rolf Schwarz (in German), 1984.
"Sicilian Defence - Wing Gambits" by Thomas Kapitaniak, 1985.
"The Winger: Sicilian Wing Gambit" by Craig Stauffer, Chess Digest,
1994.
"The Sicilian Wing Gambit" by John F. Hurt, Thinkers Press, 1983.
"Sicilian a3" by M. Thomas.
"Challenging the Sicilian with 2.a3!?" by A. Bezgodov, Chess Stars
2004.
The latter two are not strictly speaking on the Sicilian Wing Gambit,
but the lines often transpose after 1.e4 c5 2.a3 and 3.b4
If you want books that look at the gambit from Black' point of view
check out:
"Winning with the Sicilian Defense" by Jeremy Silman
or
"Anti-Sicilian A Guide for Black" by Dorian Rogozenko, Gambit, 2003.
In the French defense the Wing Gambit also involves a relatively early
b4 by White. A typical move order is 1.e4 e6 2.Nf3 d5 3.e5 c5 4.b4.
As i the Sicilian current theory says White doesn't have enough
compensation for the pawn deficit
Some books:
"Four Gambits to Beat the French" by Tim Harding
"The Secrets of Opening Suprises" by Jeroen Bosch, New In Chess, 2003.
