1.e4 vs The French, Caro-Kann and Philidor cover

Ever since its inception in 2008, the Grandmaster Repertoire series has produced some of the world’s best chess opening books, but an elite repertoire with 1.e4 has always been missing – until now.

In the Grandmaster Repertoire – 1.e4 series, Indian chess superstar Parimarjan Negi presents his own world-class repertoire. Building on a foundation of tried-and-tested main lines, the author shares a wealth of his innovative analysis to chart a course towards an advantage for White.

Volume One covers the French, Caro-Kann and Philidor.

Quality Chess continues to produce an astonishing amount of high-quality opening books, and the latest offering from the Indian GM Parimarjan Negi – 1.e4 vs The French, Caro-Kann & Philidor – is no exception. Actually, this book should be recommended reading for any young (or old!) player who aspires to grandmaster level and above. It's nothing to do with the specific analysis of these openings (although that is superb of course) but it's more to do with the attitude to opening preparation that Negi demonstrates...

It's so good! It shows everything that you need to produce world-class preparation.
