FOUR GAMBITS

   To Beat The FRENCH

by Tim Harding

Four Gambits To Beat the French by Tim Harding is a Chess Digest publication and it is physically of a much higher standard than works from this publisher were years ago. The typesetting and editing are also well done. Of course, the author also makes a big difference; Tim Harding has been writing for many years (well before the Age of Databases), and knows how to put together a coherent book. He has always been willing to explore unusual variations and ones which are difficult to write about, and Four Gambits is no exception. Harding's particular strength has been to identify areas of theory which other books have neglected, and that alone has made him a valuable author over the years.

The bottom line is that Harding thinks that the average player can have some fun and fool some opponents with these lines. He also thinks that there's room for innovations and creativity, room which is lacking in most heavily-analyzed theoretical lines. He's probably right on both points!
