On this DVD, Part 1 of 3, Susan shares her experiences, exciting battles & won games from the 1st opening she learned at the age of 4. The French can be complex, but the main benefit is there are not many long and forceful lines compared to other Openings. Susan teaches you the key to learning the French: understanding pawn structures, tactical motifs & basic plans. Join Susan and some of the world's elite Grandmasters such as Victor Korchnoi, Nigel Short and Alexander Morozevich in playing this fun and exciting opening defense.
