The Complete French Advance: The Most Uncompromising Way to Attack the French Defence
The Advance Variation is the most ambitious way to meet the solid
French Defence. Its popularity among club players is not difficult to
understand: by advancing the e-pawn to e5 on the third move, White not
only gains space but also blocks in Black's c8 Bishop and hampers
Black's kingside development by taking away the f6-square.The closed
nature of the positions arising from the Advance Variation leads to
strategic play where positional understanding is much more important
than studying the latest theoretical developments. White can use the
advantage in space by building up an attack against the Black
king.Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov has played the Advance Variation in
countless games with excellent results and is, as former World Champion
Anatoly Karpov puts it, ‘the world expert' in this variation. Together
with his son, International Master Vladimir Sveshnikov, he has
thoroughly updated and expanded his earlier investigations that he
presented in his first book on the French Advance in 2003.The
Sveshnikovs know that when you are teaching new patterns it is much more
productive to use illustrative games than to show stand-alone, concrete
variations. That is why they present many annotated grandmaster games
in which they clearly explain the ideas and plans for both sides. They
also provide exercises and test positions in order to reinforce what has
been learned. After reading and studying this book, White players, from
amateurs to Grandmasters, will make their opponents' lives even more
difficult.

Good shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Teal 02
Love the color and the design of the shirt. The small threads it’s made out of starting to come loose though. Now when look down at chest and stomach area, there are 15+ little strings that pop out of the shirt.

Awesome shirt!
Size: Medium, Color: Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Blue
This is a nice shirt! Let me start by saying I am 6 foot 2, 195pounds with about a 40 inch chest, 42 inches on a good day! Ha ha. I ordered a medium because I wanted an athletic fit. The medium fits just right. For those wanting a normal, roomier fit I would recommend the large for my size. I’ll get a lot of compliments when I wear this shirt. What I like about it is that it is wrinkle free and looks great, I would not wear it on a super hot day with a snug fit. I do live in Florida, so that makes a difference. I also ordered the black one, both the blue and the black look very good for dress /casual. It’s polyester so it’s not super soft, which is OK. That also means it does not shrink.

Nice shirt but seems to be confusion over the color/pattern.
Size: Medium, Color: Teal 02
Nice shirt. Looks sharp and feels comfy. Lightweight and breathable. Definitely an "upscale" polo that looks like it costs more than it does - so very happy with the value. Fits as expected for the size. The only issue is that I ordered a color and style called Teal-02 and they sent me Navy-01. The color and pattern is different. It's not bad, just not what I ordered. I requested a resend of the Teal...and got the same Navy color again. Annoying.

Nice, but a bit transparent.
Size: X-Large, Color: Lake Green
I love the feel of this shirt. It is very cool and comfortable. The only thing I will add is that this shirt is a bit see-through. If I wear it, I do not feel comfortable unless I have an undershirt on.
