Since long time I am building repertoire using Bookup about French.
Here is part of my work only about the Advance.
You must understand it is based on choice of some lines for Black and another player can choose other sublines...but it can be start of work.
Sublines with * are those for which I have not recent games in th Chessmix database (
www.chessmix.com).
I can add some comments only about one specific subline (I can not do the hugge commenting work Sveshnikov did in book French Advance or Kosten in specialized book).
For White beginner, I advice to play the classical (Be2) variation or the Ca3 system...Sveshnikov gives one good clue about understanding the system: Nimzowitch concept of blockade (here d4 is the blockade square).
