There's a new book by GM Denis [sic] Yevseev called Fighting the French: A New Concept (Chess Stars 2011) I intend to (mini-) review. Think of this week's ChessVideos show as a small preview, as the "new concept" is displayed. Yevseev advocates a plan for White where he, rather unusually against the French, accepts an isolated d-pawn in return for attacking chances against the black king.
It's not a well-known idea, but it isn't quite new, either. British GM James Plaskett was playing it over a decade ago (Yevseev doesn't try to hide this - several of Plaskett's efforts are presented), and one of those games is the subject of this week's show. In 2000, he took one of the biggest scalps of his career - if not the biggest - when he defeated Nigel Short. It's an impressive game with a very nice tactical finish, and I also use the game to give a general overview of the IQP approach's theory.
So it's worth seeing for the game, and even more worth seeing if you're fishing around for a new anti-French weapon! As always, the show is free (free registration required) and will be available on-demand for the next month or so.
