I just received an email from Everyman. They said that Watson's new French book
will go to the printer tomorrow(!) and become available for US distribution in the first
week in March!

Woohoo!

I wrote back and asked them to please send me the Table Of Contents so I can post
it here. We will see what they say about my request.

It would be interesting to speculate on what rarely used line Watson will offer White as dangerous weapon. and how viable would it really.

As far as dangerous weapons go I was very impressed with the line given against the French in Chess Openings For White Explained by Lev Alburt, Roman Dzindzichashvili and Eugene Perelshteyn. The line given there is particularly potent and there is a teaser video of the line on ICC hosted by Perelshteyn.

So if you ever wanted a reason to subsribe to ICC now you have it.  Cheesy

Read the teasing, just given above: "...dangerous weapons for White and Black..."

If an opening/defense is "always" better for White/Black, why GM don't use it everytime ?  (Ah,Ah, the 2-knights...what's different for this sideline comparing with other other sidelines ?)

Next Watson's book: "French is OK" ?   Cool

I am disappointed the series doesn't include the title  "Drawing with French Exchange as White"  Tongue

Maybe Watson will publish fresh ideas, continuing Minev's work ("New and Forgotten ideas about the French").

I think the format of the "Dangerous Weapons" series is to have ideas for both Black and White (and why not, more sales).


Hard to imagine a diehard French defence player like Watson suggesting anything useful for white.

I take it this will be written from Black's point of view.
